Detective Chief Inspector Sam Blackburn said: "This was a shocking act of violence and we are working hard to establish the full circumstances behind what happened.

"While the investigation is still at an early stage, at this time we believe there was an altercation between two groups of men inside the Underground station and it is here the victims sustained their injuries before making their way onto the street."

Elephant and Castle station is set to be closed this morning while forensic examinations take place.
