Two teenage boys are in hospital after a double stabbing at West Ham station.
The 17-year-olds were both believed to be in a stable condition after a fight inside the station around 6.50pm on Saturday, September 5.
British Transport Police said it appears that two males met as they passed each other on a stairway at the station.
After what seems to have been a row, one male suffered stab wounds and collapsed at the station.
The other male, who also had stabbing injuries, got on to a train to Abbey Road DLR Station.

Officers are asking anyone who was in or around West Ham station about the time of the incident, or at Abbey Road DLR Station shortly afterwards and saw anything suspicious, to get in touch.
