A young man in his 20s has become the latest victim of violence in the capital after he was found with multiple stab wounds.
The victim was found outside of a residential block on Weybridge Point, in Battersea, south-west London, and was rushed to hospital at about 7.10pm on Tuesday night.
Officers have made no arrests following the stabbing and a crime scene was put in place into Wednesday morning.
The man’s condition, police said, is not thought to be life-threatening.
It is the latest incident of violent crime in the capital after five men and boys lost their lives in six days after being stabbed.
A murder investigation was launched for a 16-year-old schoolboy on Monday, after he was stabbed in Tulse Hill.
A 22-year-old man was knifed to death on Sunday, just after midday, in Anerley, south east London.
On Friday, 17-year-old Malcolm Mide-Madariola was stabbed to death in Wandsworth as well, outside Clapham South station.
Jay Hughes, 15, also known as Jai Sewell, was also stabbed to death in Bellingham, south-east London, on Thursday.
And on Wednesday, Rocky Djelal, 38, died from fatal knife wounds next to a children’s playground at Southwark Park.
Following the violence, a Section 60 order was put in place for the whole of Lambeth until 5am on Wednesday.
The Section 60 power allows officers to stop and search anyone in a certain area, when there is evidence serious violence has taken place.
