A teenager was fighting for his life today after he was stabbed in broad daylight in west London.

Police were called at noon to the attack in Willow Vale, a residential street in Shepherd's Bush.

The stabbing was close to a nursery school in the same street, as well as the Loftus Road ground of Queen’s Park Rangers FC.

Officers and paramedics found the victim with stab wounds and he was taken to hospital.

The Met said he was in a life-threatening condition. Officers said his next-of-kin have been informed.

A crime scene remained in place on Wednesday afternoon. No arrests have been made.

The latest bloodshed follows a series of five fatal stabbings in the capital in the space of just six days.

The latest victims include a teenager who was stabbed to death in front of his parents on Monday night in Tulse Hill, south London.

And on Sunday, a 22-year-old man was stabbed to death in broad daylight in Anerley, south-east London.
