Two teenage boys have been taken to hospital after a double stabbing in Bromley.
The incident happened in Burnt Ash Lane just after 11.35am today (September 26).
Police and London Ambulance Service crews attended and found one of the teens who had been stabbed.
He was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital where his condition was assessed as non life-threatening.
A short time later, another boy was found with stab wounds in Kynaston Road, believed to have been sustained in the same incident.
He was also taken to hospital where his injuries were assessed as non life-threatening.
No arrests have been made as police enquiries continue.
A section 35 dispersal order was also authorised at 10am surrounding Bromley Common and Holwood Ward.
The dispersal order, which is in place until 6pm tomorrow (September 27), is to prevent disorder and is a culmination of incidents at Bromley College, between students and attendees.
Section 35 gives a police constable and a community support officer in uniform the power to exclude a person from an area for a period of up to 48 hours with a police inspector’s authority.
It is unclear whether the stabbing and dispersal order are linked.
