He said officers believed the attack happened near the back entrance to the station, near Ruskin Square.
"Alongside the Met, throughout the evening, we'll be increasing our patrols in the East Croydon area and we have authorised additional Section 60 stop and search powers," he said. A Section 60 gives police officers the right to search people within a certain area if they think a person may be carrying a weapon or, in this case, a murder weapon.:"Deeply saddened to learn a young man has lost his life. My thoughts are with his loved ones.""Violent crime destroys lives and devastates communities," he added.Croydon Central MP Sarah Jones said she was"heartbroken".
"Our first thoughts are with the family and friends who are facing what nobody ever should," she said."This brutal loss of a young life is another reminder that tackling violence must be our highest priority at every level of government and across our communities.Image captionLondon Ambulance Service said it sent two ambulances, two paramedics in response cars, an advanced paramedic practitioner and an incident response officer as well as the air ambulance.
Sad to hear but it's old and boring news 😴💤. Knife and gun crime in the U.K. = life imprisonment. Meaning life imprisonment. Until the law changes (not a chance in hell) then this will be regular news. 🦀🐢🐙🐌
I was at East Croydon Station yesterday afternoon, travelling to and from the sauna, by tram, and I am alive to tell the tale. Rather than lament, ask why some are safe and others are not. I never feel unsafe.
underfunding, austerity, shitty schools, crappy council and MP's, saturation point reached long ago for corporations and sky-scrapers. Croydon is sinking
What’s the betting this tragic loss of life is gang related. So tired of these animals taking over our streets, making us live in fear of being victims, caught up in the madness, or witnessing barbarity. The lunatics really have taken over. There needs to be zero tolerance now.
Things are afoot in New Lagos.
Need to know more information- if this pertains to gang culture with intended motive or if it is an indiscriminate attack
Part and parcel SadiqKhan
Man culturally enriched outside railway station.
What else is new...
Incredibly sad that this can happen anytime anywhere. What are we doing in this world. Just stop. I must've been at the station just after it happened.
Stop all this killing! Nobody wins, people just die and families are left broken hearted 💔 RIP yet another 18 year old who had all his life in front of him 😢
pagan leaders , pagan serfs , not that complicated

Oh my god!
20k more police officers and this still continues. Until we stop tying up police looking at screens all day to monitor on line crime, they will never get on our streets to protect us. More beat officers fast!
To those blaming Sadiq Khan - What do you want him to do? Do you want him to physically get out in to the city and fight the crime himself, like Batman? Also, don't forget that the city basically turned in to a free for all in 2011 (the riots), when Boris was mayor.
At least Londoners will be able to draw a last gasp of clean air after being stabbed. Cheers Sadiq 👍🏻
Get khan_sophie on the case, she loves defending a maniac with a machete! There are no words for atrocities like this. Someone’s child has lost their life. When will it end?
How would facial recognition cameras, prevent a crime like this, had they been deployed in East Croydon tonight?
_aaaaabbie
So pleased that I don't live in London anymore - frightening .
rest in peace ♥️
Still no death penalty for these people that stab each other. Hey BorisJohnson when you gonna grow some balls and hand down a serious sentence for these idiots.
So Boris and Sad, what you gonna do..railway stations are now in your killing fields....sort it or sod off
Not even a shock anymore, stabbings part of every day life there, i hate cities, i prefer countrysides they are safer
DiversityIsOurStrength
I'm feeling culturally enriched 🙄
📰 hardly News, just an everyday occurrence in the Capital
Victim most likely black. Murderer most likely black.
Stab City!!!
Dreadful. Sadiq Can’t has got to go. He’s a disgrace as mayor.
Khan's London
Ffs Vote Sadiq.... 🙄
