Less than a day after a man was stabbed and killed near the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, another victim has suffered stab injuries after yet another knife attack in south east London.
Met Police said officers were called alongside paramedics at 6:20am on Saturday, July 31, to reports of a man with a knife in Plumstead Road in Woolwich.
A woman was found with a stab injury to her hand and was taken to hospital.
Her injuries have been assessed as non-life threatening.
Police added that a 27-year-old man was arrested at the scene. The incident is not being treated as terrorism-related.
