Two 21-year-old men and a 20-year-old man were taken to hospital with stab injuries, said the Met Police.
It is not yet known how serious their injuries are.
A 20-year-old woman who reported breathing difficulties declined medical treatment at the scene.
Meanwhile, another person was taken to a local hospital, according to London Ambulance Service.
The road was cordoned off for several hours while forensic officers gathered evidence at the scene.
But no arrests have been made as police enquiries continue.
Earlier reports on social media initially suggested a corrosive substance had been thrown at people on Station Parade but cops clarified this was not the case.
Specialist CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) responders were deployed but were later stood down after it was confirmed not to be a chemical incident.
Police confirmed they were called to multiple reports of a stabbing on the street, which runs adjacent to the London Underground station that serves the Jubilee Line.
The residential street was on lockdown for several hours.
Station Parade meets Walm Lane at the other end, by the station, which is where the commotion reportedly first started.
The incident happened near the Central Masjid of Brent.
But police have also ruled out any direct connection to the mosque or any religious motivation behind the incident.
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 9.02pm on Wednesday 25 June to reports of a stabbing on Walm Lane, NW2.
“We sent a number of resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, an incident response officer, a clinical team manager and paramedics from our tactical response unit.
“We also dispatched trauma teams in cars from London’s Air Ambulance.
“We treated four people in total. We took two patients to a major trauma centre and another patient to a local hospital.
“The fourth person declined further treatment.”
Anyone with information about what happened is asked to call 101 quoting CAD 8601/22Jun.
