A third man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a stabbing in Uxbridge town centre.

Two men, aged 20 and 22, were arrested on Tuesday (August 2) morning, close to where a man in his 20s had been stabbed in the early hours of that day.

Police said a third man, aged 20, had later handed himself in at a west London police station.

All three men were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and have been bailed to a date in early September.

Police had been called to Uxbridge High Street at 3.49am to reports of a stabbing, and a man in his 20s later presented himself at a west London hospital with stab wounds.
