Sutton stabbing sees boy, 17, killed on busy High Street outside London bus station

On Tuesday, December 5, a 17-year-old kid in South London was fatally stabbed. On Sutton’s main street, the adolescent was stabbed.

At 7:08 p.m., police were summoned to Sutton High Street in response to claims of a knife attack on the adolescent. Despite receiving treatment on the spot, his wounds ultimately claimed his life.

Some locals worry that the episode might be a sign of a more serious problem. Jacob, a student, stated: “It’s quite shocking.” Sutton has always seemed to be on the outskirts of the city, but with less crime. When was the last time something as horrible as this occurred?

Inrix, a traffic update website, reports that bus routes 80, 164, 280, 470, S1, S3, and S4 are being diverted. The Sutton station has reopened.
