A 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death, and three teenagers were arrested after a fatal stabbing in a brawl outside a London community center. The Metropolitan Police, the BBC reports, said they were called to the center in Romford overnight when a fight broke out after a birthday party. The boy was found with knife wounds and died at the scene. Three teenage boys were arrested on suspicion of murder and are being questioned. Police were first called to the community center on Clockhouse Lane at 21:05 p.m., following reports of clashes between groups and damage to the center. Deputy Sergeant Gurj Singh said: "Flying patrol officers responding to the initial calls were confronted with up to 100 young people leaving a birthday party at a community center." Romford MP Andrew Rosindell said it was "devastating" that a young life "was so tragically cut short on our streets tonight." The boy's next of kin have been notified, though his identity has not yet been released. A bus driver in his fifties was treated for a head injury at the scene.
