A shisha lounge in West London, known as Cervo Lounge, has had its license permanently revoked by Ealing Council following a violent altercation that resulted in a man being stabbed multiple times.

The incident occurred on January 20, when a brawl involving around 20 individuals erupted, leading to the victim being stabbed four times in various locations.

The police reported that the injuries sustained by the victim were not life-threatening.

Witness accounts describe the scene as chaotic, with participants using shisha poles and chairs as weapons.

Following the brawl, venue operators reportedly began clearing the crime scene before police could preserve it, which raised concerns for law enforcement.

The Cervo Lounge had a history of violent incidents, with multiple reports of assaults involving weapons occurring since June 2024. Additionally, it had previously been served an enforcement notice by Ealing Council for operating without proper planning permissions.

In another tragic event, a 20-year-old man, Jason Junior Romeo, was fatally stabbed in Hackney, East London.

Police were alerted to the incident on February 17, and emergency services confirmed his death at the scene.

Two men, aged 23 and 25, were arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in custody.

The local community mourned Romeo, with friends describing him as a kind and well-liked individual.

Hackney has experienced a surge in violence recently, with this incident marking the fifth fatal stabbing in London in early 2023.

In a related case, a man named Jason Flore was convicted of murdering his partner, Stephanie Marie, at Crawley Station.

Flore, 26, attacked Marie with a knife during an argument, which left her fatally injured.

He was apprehended shortly after the incident and found guilty following a trial at Hove Crown Court.

Flore is scheduled to be sentenced soon, with investigators noting the controlling nature of his relationship with Marie, which contributed to the tragic outcome.
