A 17-year-old boy, Thomas Taylor, was tragically killed in a stabbing incident at a bus station in Bedford, England. Police are actively searching for several suspects.

A 17-year-old boy, Thomas Taylor , was stabbed to death at a bus station in Bedford on Wednesday evening. Detectives are searching for several attackers who fled the scene in Greenhill Street shortly before 6pm. Thomas Taylor was a student at Bedford Academy. Headteacher Chris Deller said in a statement that Thomas was a popular, well-liked and respected lad who finished year 11 with a strong set of results, before going on to study at sixth form.

A friend paid tribute to Thomas, saying: ‘The one word that sums him up is fun. You couldn’t have a bad day with him, it was impossible. He was just so funny, everything he said would have you cracking up. Not just what he said, but how he said it. He’d left school recently but was really keen to come back, he kept emailing the school. He was a really smart lad, he could sometimes be cheeky in class but he was never rude.’ A spokesman for Bedfordshire Police said that Thomas Taylor was walking along Greenhill Street close to Bedford bus station when he was attacked by a group of males at 5.50pm yesterday (Wed). He suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later. The offenders fled towards Hassett Street and Greyfriars car park. They are all described as black and were wearing dark clothing. Detective Chief Inspector Katie Dounias, who is leading the investigation, said: ‘This is an absolutely shocking incident in which a teenage boy has been stabbed to death in a busy town centre. We have a dedicated team of detectives working on this investigation and supporting Thomas’s family at this incredibly difficult time for them.’ She urged anyone with information to contact the force. ‘We’re aware that there are images and videos circulating on social media, please refrain from sharing any such clips and instead contact police,’ the detective added. Superintendent Hob Hoque said: ‘We appreciate this incident will be concerning for Bedford residents and we will have a visible presence in the town with additional patrols through the coming days. Knife crime has no place in our communities and we would like to reassure the public that we are working hard to establish the circumstances surrounding this appalling violence and locating those responsible.
