Read our privacy policy Two men were stabbed to death in the space of two hours on Tuesday in separate incidents of knife crime in west London – including one who was struck down in broad daylight on a tube platform. Detective Superintendent Gary Richardson said: “While we are at the early stages of our investigation, we believe a group of young men were involved in an altercation on the platform before one of the men received a fatal stab wound.” He added: “This level of violence is not usual on the rail network, and we will be increasing our uniformed patrols in the Hillingdon area in the coming days to help reassure the travelling public." The majority of searches in the last year have been carried out on young black men, with the power being used on 75 black people per thousand in the capital from September 2018 to August 2019, compared to 17 out of every thousand white people.
