Boy, 14, charged after four stabbed at KFC on busy high street in broad daylight ‘knife attack’ & 7 arrested

A TEENAGE boy has been charged after four people were stabbed in an alleged broad daylight attack at a KFC.

The horror unfolded on Bromley High Street, in South East London, last Thursday as emergency services descended on the scene.

Officers were called shortly after 2pm where they discovered three teenage boys, aged 14 to 17, and a 21-year-old man with stab wounds.

The man – who was said to be in critical condition – and the teenagers were raced to hospital for treatment.

However, the man’s injuries have since been deemed non-life-threatening while the three teens have been discharged.

A 14-year-old boy has now been charged following the shocking incident, the Met Police said on Monday.

Emergency services swarmed on the busy high street on Thursday afternoon, following reports of an “altercation”.

Witnesses described loud bangs and screams of horror as the altercation spilled into an alleyway in The Mall shopping centre.

Barber George Ioannou, who manages Antonio’s barber shop next to the fast food joint, said witnesses ran into his shop to seek safety.

The 26-year-old told The Sun: “A woman came in crying and saying, ‘Lock the doors’.

“I locked the door. She was very upset. I believe it started inside KFC.

“The police have been in but only to see if I had been outside.”

A witness, who did not want to be named, said the altercation moved from the fast food chain to an alleyway of the Mall shopping centre.

Another witness wrote on X that there were “endless sirens”, adding a police drone had been flying around the area.

Police set up a cordon around part of Bromley High Street and a side road the attackers are thought to have used in a bid to flee the scene.
