"A gentle and peaceful dog walker who was just trying to help has died and two people have been injured in a triple stabbing in west London. A 22-year-old Afghan national has been arrested on suspicion of murder as neighbours paid tribute to the victim, who they said was just doing the normal dog walk that he does every day."
"A 49-year-old victim, named locally as Wayne Broadhurst, died at the scene. Residents told the Daily Mail that Mr Broadhurst, a local bin man, had tried to intervene after a fight spilled out onto the street before the alleged attacker started slashing at him. Another local added: He's well known around here. He's a lovely guy, very gentle and peaceful. He was just trying to help and it's ended up costing him his life."
"A man, aged 45, also suffered life-changing injuries in the stabbing and a 14-year-old boy was wounded in what police described as a senseless act of violence. The 45-year-old is said to have survived after locals armed with baseball bats rushed outside to defend him. Tahira Hassan, who lives near the scene of the attack, said a teenage boy wearing a blood-soaked shirt knocked on her door begging for help at around 5pm."
