The following individuals were sentenced to prison time in December 2025 to date.
Unprovoked station stabbing
Nicholas Orlando Green, 36, of Kennington Park Road in Stockwell, stabbed two strangers in an unprovoked attack in Kennington station.
The two victims entered the station at around 10.30pm after finishing a local dance class, while a larger group dispersed to separate platforms.
A short time later, Green tapped into the station and made his way down to the platform.
Green then attacked the other victim and repeatedly stabbed him for around 20 seconds with a knife clenched in his right hand.
He continued the attack even after the victim fell to the floor.
Hearing the commotion, the second victim rushed over to intervene. Green then began attacking him in the same way, knocking him to the ground before other horrified members of the public intervened.
Green then got up and made his way to the lift, where he assaulted a 31-year-old woman before leaving the station.
Both stab victims were rushed to hospital.
The 44-year-old victim suffered multiple stab injuries to his chest, as well as a fractured arm.
It was found that the 42-year-old victim suffered 13 stab injuries in total.
Green was sentenced to 11 years in prison.

Wetherspoons killing
Paul Tallant, 43, from Eltham, was jailed for killing Charlie Prodromou, 63, in a fight outside a Wetherspoon pub in Lewisham.
Charlie died in hospital after he fell and hit his head when he was punched twice in the face by Tallant outside The Watch House pub on March 1.
With Charlie on the floor, Tallant then stood over him celebrating the attack in a “victor’s stance”.
Charlie was described by his family as a “truly good man” with a “beautifully jolly face”
Tallant pleaded guilty to manslaughter stating he had acted in excessive self-defence as Charlie had started the fight and had been causing a “nuisance” in the pub.
But Judge Andrew Lees rejected the basis of plea, stating that by the time of the fatal punch Charlie was retreating and posed no threat.
Tallant was sentenced to 10-and-a-half year in prison.
A second man – Danny Donovan, 40, of Marshalsea Road in Southwark – was sentenced to 26 months in prison after he threatened a “good Samaritan” with a knife when they tried to prevent the fight between Charlie and Tallant.

Greenwich predators encouraged teens to self-harm
Charlie Johnson, 24, of Old Mill Road in Plumstead, and Prince Singh, 23, of Hiskin Close in Charlton, coerced school girls into self harm and then mocked them online.
They encouraged their victims, who were 16 and 17, to carve names into themselves, wanting them to be “scarred for life”, before sharing images of those acts in an online chatroom.
Judge Ruth Downing said the two men were drawn together by their “mutual interest” in encouraging “school girls” to self-harm.
Judge Downing said: “I am of the view that both these men took a deeply unhealthy interest in this idea in encouraging others, young women, inevitably women, to self-harm.”
The judge also described the pair treating their “deliberate planned acts” as a “game”, picking vulnerable victims.
At the sentencing hearing, the two victims spoke about the extreme and long-lasting impacts of their actions.
One of the girls said Johnson, who was in his 20s when they met, “weaponised” her youth, and said she still has “nightmares of the abuse”.
She said: “I was made to feel like everything was my fault, even when he hurt me.”
She added: “Emotionally I felt worthless for a long time, I felt disposable and I even felt guilty that he was facing consequences.”
Johnson was jailed for four years whilst Singh was jailed for two years and nine months.
