A teenager has been rushed to hospital after a stabbing in south London.

An air ambulance landed in Burgess Park, in Southwark, at around 6.40pm after police received reports of a teenager suffering stab injuries.

The victim, thought to be in his mid-teens, was rushed to hospital for treatment.

His condition is not thought to be life-threatening, a Met Police spokesman said.

There have been no arrests and enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing, a spokesman said.

Pictures taken beside Burgess Park show a police cordon in place as officers remain at the scene.

Anyone with information that could assist police has been asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD 7135/26May.
