Two men stabbed minutes apart in Plaistow

Two men were taken to hospital following separate stabbing incidents in Plaistow, Newham, on the evening of 28 October 2026. The London Ambulance Service was first alerted to a stabbing report on Pelly Road just before 7:50 pm.

Emergency services deployed two ambulance crews, paramedics in fast response cars, an incident response officer, and a trauma team from London's Air Ambulance, which attended by car. A male victim received treatment at the scene before being transported to a major trauma centre.

Seven minutes later, the London Ambulance Service received a report of a second injured person on Dimsdale Walk, an area less than a mile from Pelly Road. An ambulance crew and paramedics were dispatched to this second incident.

A second male victim was treated at the scene and subsequently taken to a major trauma centre as a priority. Officials have not yet confirmed the ages or specific conditions of either victim. It remains unclear if the two incidents are being treated as linked by the Metropolitan Police Service.
