A police manhunt is under way after three people were injured in a stabbing in Borough Green.
Kent Police said armed officers were called to a property in Sevenoaks Road at about 07:40 BST following reports of a domestic incident.
One man has been taken to a London hospital with life threatening injuries. A second man has been taken to a local hospital, while a woman sustained minor arm injuries, they said.
The police helicopter is assisting the search for the suspect. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
At least six police vehicles and cordons were in place along Sevenoaks Road on Thursday morning from the roundabout at Western Road to Rock Road.
Crime scene investigators wearing white forensic suits arrived at the scene at about 11:10 BST.
Mike Taylor from Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council said serious incidents were rare in the area.
"Normally our biggest problem is traffic and a bit of low-level anti-social behaviour, nothing serious though," he said.
