Man Arrested After Teenager Injured in Yiewsley Knife Attack

A 35-year-old man has been arrested after a teenager suffered a knife injury on Yiewsley High Street, with police also investigating an alleged assault on a woman.

A 35-year-old man has been arrested following a suspected stabbing on Yiewsley High Street in West London, which left a 19-year-old man requiring hospital treatment.

The suspect has also been arrested in connection with an alleged assault on a woman nearby earlier the same evening.

Emergency services were called to Yiewsley High Street in the London Borough of Hillingdon at approximately 6.45pm on Sunday 8 November.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed that the teenager suffered a knife injury, prompting a major emergency response involving ambulance crews and a trauma team from London's Air Ambulance.

Teenager treated for knife injury

The London Ambulance Service received reports of a stabbing at 6.49pm.

Ambulance crews, a tactical response paramedic, a clinical team manager and an incident response officer attended the scene.

A trauma team from London's Air Ambulance was also dispatched by car.

The 19-year-old victim received treatment at the scene before being taken to hospital as a priority.

Police subsequently confirmed that his injuries were neither life-threatening nor life-changing.

He has since been discharged from hospital.

Police cordon established on high street

Officers established a cordon around part of Yiewsley High Street following the incident.

Footage reported by MyLondon showed several shops behind police barriers, with emergency equipment visible outside a nearby business.

The cordon remained in place while officers carried out their initial enquiries.

Suspect arrested in West Drayton

Later on Sunday evening, officers arrested a 35-year-old man in nearby West Drayton on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.

Following his arrest, the man reported suffering a head injury and was taken to hospital as a precaution.

Police confirmed that he remained in hospital under police guard at the time of their latest update.

While in hospital, he was further arrested on suspicion of racially abusing a police officer.

Separate alleged assault on woman

Detectives are also investigating an incident involving a woman on Fairfield Road, close to Yiewsley High Street.

The alleged assault took place at approximately 6.30pm on Sunday, around 15 minutes before emergency services were called to the knife incident.

The same 35-year-old suspect has been arrested on suspicion of common assault in connection with that allegation.

Police have not released further details about the woman or whether she required medical treatment.

Police appeal for witnesses

The Metropolitan Police say their investigation remains ongoing.

Officers are urging anyone who witnessed either incident, or who may have relevant video footage, to come forward.

Information from residents, motorists and businesses in the area could assist detectives in establishing the circumstances surrounding the incidents.
