No arrests have been made and there is no police update three days after a man was stabbed in Lewisham.

A 21-year-old was stabbed in Bromley Road late on Friday night and died in hospital on Saturday afternoon.

Officers have said they believe the victim was attacked by "up to three men who then fled the scene on foot".

A murder investigation has been launched and police are appealing for anyone with further information or witnesses to contact them quoting crime reference number 8645/04nov.

Police say they know there were several people in the area and are urging people to come forward.

Detective Chief Inspector Kelly Allen from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command leads the investigation and said: “We know there were several people in the Bromley Road area who either witnessed this incident or the events leading up to and after this incident.

“I would urge them, along with any road users in the area who may have captured events on dashcam to come forward and speak to police.

“At this early stage we believe the victim was attacked by up to three men, who then fled the scene on foot.

“A young man’s family is grieving following another senseless loss of life to knife violence; please help them get justice and speak to police if you know anything that could help us.”
