A double stabbing in which two girls were injured in West Kensington may have been the result of a social media feud.

The 17-year-old victims suffered from stab and slash injuries in the incident in North End Road on Monday, (April 23), at around 5.35pm.

The victims were rushed to hospital but their injuries were non life-threatening and they have since been discharged to recover at home.

A 17-year-old girl was arrested at the scene but has been released on bail to return to a west London police station in mid-May.

Detectives investigating the incident believe a suspect had been in a social media feud with the victims before the incident and are appealing for anyone who may have more information to come forward.
