A baby is fighting for life in hospital and a woman is injured after being stabbed at a home in west London.

The one-year-old boy and the woman, in her 30s, were found suffering knife wounds at the residential address in Feltham on Monday.

A manhunt has been launched after the pair were rushed to hospital by the Air Ambulance Service following the attack in Swinfield Close.

Police descended on an address just after 7pm and the surrounding area was placed on lockdown.

Residents reported seeing up to 50 officers swarming the area following the incident, while an air ambulance landed in Oriel Academy’s school playing field.

One person told Get West London: "We have been told by police to stay in and lock doors. The estate is taped off, and an armed response is present."

Roads were cordoned off as police began scouring the area and hunting for the attacker on Monday night.

Scotland Yard said officers are now looking for a man who is known to live at the address and the three are believed to have been known to each other.

Officers said the boy remains in a critical condition, while the woman's injures are not life threatening.

No arrests have been made.

Police remained at the address on Monday night as investigators sealed off the crime scene.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Hounslow Police on 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting CAD 6981/4June or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
