A teenager is fighting for life and three boys have been arrested after a stabbing in south London.

Emergency services rushed to Grange Road in Bermondsey at 11.15pm on Saturday, where the 17-year-old victim was found with stab injuries.

He was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital. He remains in a critical condition.

Three boys, two aged 15 and one aged 14, have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.

They remain in custody at this time, police said.

It comes after two boys, aged 16 and 14, and a 16-year-old girl were injured in a knife attack which reportedly took place at a church party in Camberwell, also in the borough of Southwark, on Friday night.

On the same night a 19-year-old man was shot and knifed to death in a street fight in Wood Green, north London.
