A man has been arrested after five people were injured in a stabbing near an Asda store in Croydon, south London, the Metropolitan police said.

Police and other emergency services were called to Marlowe Way on the Beddington trading estate on Thursday morning after reports of a stabbing at a warehouse.

Five people were treated for injuries at the scene by the London ambulance service.

One was taken to a major trauma centre in London and four other people were taken to hospital, according to the ambulance service.

A 54-year-old man who was taken to hospital had sustained non-life threatening injuries, the Metropolitan police said. The force confirmed a man had been arrested.

Images from the scene showed a cordon around a Sainsbury’s and Argos distribution centre, with emergency services outside.

A London ambulance spokesperson said: “We were called at 10.21am this morning to reports of a stabbing incident in Marlowe Way, Croydon.

“We sent a number of resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, a paramedic in a fast response car, an incident response officer, members of our tactical response unit and London’s air ambulance.

“Our crews treated five patients at the scene, before taking one to a London major trauma centre and four to other hospitals.”
