A mother has revealed she was 'terrified' after receiving a call from her two-year-old son's nursery to say that there had been a fatal quadruple stabbing outside a business just minutes away.
Emergency services rushed to Long Lane, Southwark, south London, at around 1pm on Monday after receiving reports of a stabbing which has since left two men dead.
When police and medics arrived on the road, which is near to London Bridge and Tower Bridge, they discovered that four people had suffered stab wounds.
As a result, a 58-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene before a 27-year-old man later died in hospital - sparking the launch of a murder probe by detectives.
The man who has been detained in connection with the incident, who police say is in his 30s, is in a critical condition and fighting for his life in hospital.
