A man is fighting for his life in hospital after suffering multiple stab wounds in a violent attack in south London. Emergency services were called to the scene following reports of a serious assault, where they discovered the injured man.
Metropolitan Police officers and paramedics from the London Ambulance Service attended the incident. The victim received immediate medical attention at the scene before being transported to a major trauma centre, where he remains in a critical but stable condition.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the attack are still emerging, but police have confirmed that an investigation has been launched.
