A 22-year-old man has been critically hurt after a stabbing outside a Muslim prayer centre in west London.

The emergency services were alerted at about 2.20pm today after reports of a stabbing on Hanworth Road, Hounslow.

They found an injured man who had been stabbed outside a Muslim prayer centre.
