Unacceptable to close the station for a week, stabbing or otherwise. Knife crime isn’t new and it shouldn’t be that the authorities cause disruption due to one stabbing incident. For those who would like me to think about the 17 year old boy that got stabbed, absolutely sad and all that but let’s not switch off entire critical infrastructure as a result.
I don’t understand why people are concerned about when the station is reopened when its tragic incident of a young man’s life has been taken away.
You can akways use another form of transport.
Lets think about the family whio have lost their precious boy.
My heart ❤️ goes out for them.
Hi just read this tragic news, I live in Surrey and was at the station only a few days ago. How can this happen so close to Sutton Police Station, what on earth is going on, I always felt safe at the top part of Sutton closer to the Police Station but not know!
