A man has died after a stabbing in south-east London in the early hours of Friday.
The victim, who was in his 40s, was found with stab injuries after officers were called to Southampton Way in Camberwell at 1.31am, the Metropolitan police said.
He died at the scene and a man aged in his 20s was arrested nearby on suspicion of murder.
A police spokesperson said: “On arrival, officers located a man, aged in his 40s, suffering with stab injuries. Despite treatment from medical professionals, the man sadly died at the scene. His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
A London ambulance service spokesperson said: “We sent numerous resources to the scene, including an ambulance crew, medics in two fast response cars, an advanced paramedic and an incident response officer.
“We also dispatched a trauma team from London’s air ambulance, which consisted of a paramedic and a doctor in a car.
“Sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, a man was pronounced dead at the scene.”
Harriet Harman, the MP for Camberwell and Peckham, described the death as a “horrific murder” and passed on her “deepest sympathy to bereaved family”.
