London’s Metropolitan Police are investigating the murder of a woman who died of knife wounds at a packed London station during the evening rush-hour.
Police said a man in his early 30s stabbed the woman in the neck after a conversation with her on an underground platform at Euston station yesterday.
The man fled up the escalators to the station booking hall where he stabbed himself in the throat and chest, causing serious injury.
Police accompanied him to hospital, where he was being treated as a suspect and is in a serious but stable condition.
A doctor and another passenger in the station tried to help the stabbed woman, in her late 20s or early 30s, but she died at the scene.
Two other men who tried to intervene were also injured.
Euston Station, one of London's biggest and busiest, was shut after the incident but has now reopened.
