A man has died after a triple stabbing at street market in south London this morning.
The attack on East Street in Walworth saw three people suffer wounds at around 10.40am.
Two victims are being treated in hospital with their condition currently unknown. The man who was killed was pronounced dead at the scene.
A man believed to be in his 60s has been arrested and is in police custody.
Commander Peter Stevens said: ‘Tragically, a man lost his life this morning, and officers are working hard to establish exactly what happened and to provide support to his family. My thoughts and sincere sympathies are with them, and with the other people injured.
‘Our investigation is at a very early stage. One man was rapidly arrested by officers responding to the incident. At present, although enquiries are ongoing, nobody else is sought.
‘The incident is not being treated as terrorism. Enquiries continue, led by dedicated detectives from Specialist Crime.
‘I want to thank those people who have already shared their accounts of what they saw with police. I urge anyone with information or footage, or any witnesses yet to speak with police, to get in touch.’
