A man has been left fighting for his life after a stabbing at an Underground station in north London.
Officers were called to Seven Sisters station just before 9am on Tuesday to reports of an assault, British Transport Police said.
A man was found at the scene suffering from stab wounds. He was taken to hospital and is in a life-threatening condition.
One eyewitness told local newspaper the Hackney Gazette they had seen a man “clutching his chest saying he had been stabbed” after the incident.
Two women have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent, while one has also been arrested on suspicion of common assault, the force added.
There was a large police presence in the area on Tuesday afternoon as detectives carried out investigations.
Officers in hazmat suits placed a forensics tent near the entrance of the station and cordoned off the surrounding area.
The underground station remains partially closed due to the police investigation.
Officers have appealed to anyone with information on the attack to come forward.
