Met officers have arrested a man following a stabbing in south London.

We were called at 10:15hrs on Thursday, 23 January to reports of a stabbing at a warehouse in Marlowe Way, Beddington.

Five people - a man in his 50s, two men in their 30s, and two men in their 20s - were taken to hospital with stab wounds. Their conditions were assessed as not life-threatening.

A 30-year-old man was arrested nearby on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon. He was also taken to hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Chief Superintendent Andy Brittain, local policing commander for south London, said: "Officers responded quickly and arrested the suspect within an hour. An investigation is now under way.

“Based on initial enquiries we believe all those involved knew each other. Therefore we do not believe there is any wider risk to the public.”
