A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after two people were injured at a gurdwara in Gravesend.

Kent Police said it was called to the Sikh place of worship at 20:10 BST on Thursday to a report of a “disturbance”.

“It was reported that two people had sustained injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening and are being treated locally,” the force said in a statement.

Kent Police said it was not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident at Guru Nanak Darbar Gurdwara in Saddington Street.

Officers remained outside the building on Friday morning while inquiries were ongoing.

Gravesham MP Dr Lauren Sullivan said she was “shocked and saddened” by the incident and thanked the emergency services for their “swift” response.

“My thoughts are with those hurt, their family, and the community,” she wrote on X.
