Incident at Sydenham Station
Incident at Sydenham Station
does anyone know what is going on along the top end of the high street tonight? Seems to be quite a bit of police activity by Station Approach.
No I don't. But they have cordoned off the pavement and parked cars on the north side of Sydenham Road from about Newlands Park to the Greyhound and the southside of Sydenham Road/Kirkdale/Westwood Hill from Payless to the corner of Lawrie Park Road.
Currently they appear to be photographing the scene and gathering evidence. One can only surmise that whatever happened the people involved traversed that route.
I was in a vehicle so did not have the opportunity to ask.

My train pulled up at Sydenham at about 5.40pm but then they didn't open the doors and the train carried onto Penge. So it must have only just happened as the police were still putting up the tape on both sides of the station.
I can't find anything on the BBC London or anywhere yet. So don't know how bad the 'stabbing' was.
I wonder if the station will be open for work tomorrow morning??

I really hope its nothing to do with what I saw when driving past Cobbs Corner tonight. Two men started laying into each other whilst a girl who was with them was screaming and trying to break them up. A lot of pedestrians at the bus stop were looking on at this point and a woman crossed the road, as though to intervene.
It just looked like fist fight at that point. I turned into the side road and turned back – when I went back there was no-one to be seen and nothing seemed to be going on.

I have spoken to my brother(train driver) who tells me via the Station manager at London Bridge who had to attend the scene on Sunday evening !
There was a stabbing in the launderette and the victim ran/stumbled out and headed to the station where they used the emergency comms system to call for help.
That’s all I have at the moment but any updates and I will post them

If Savvy is correct then hopefully it did not involve 'innocent' people - not that injuring criminals is any better. Can I remind folks that if arrests/charges have been made then it is sub-judice and no names, prejudicial stuff or speculation should be posted. Anything that you did not witness should always be sourced.
