Three people have been arrested in connection with the stabbing of a teenager in Eastcote .

Police raided homes in Southall and Northolt early this morning (Tuesday, November 18) and took a 16-year-old boy and two 18-year-old men into custody on suspicion of robbery and causing greivous bodily harm.

The attack happened on Monday, October 27 at about 10.35pm, close to Eastcote station.

A local trader told getwestlondon how a man ran into his shop and asked for cloths to staunch the blood after his friend was stabbed.

The 18-year-old victim was taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries and later released. He has since been discharged and is making a good recovery after receiving treatment for wounds to the leg, chest, and back.

All the arrested people are being held at a West London police station pending further enquiries, say police.
