A 55-year-old man has been rushed to hospital following a stabbing in New Cross during the early hours of Saturday morning (August 16). Police were called to New Cross Road shortly after 5.30am to reports a man had been knifed.
The busy South London road has been shut throughout this morning between New Cross Gate station and the Marquis of Granby pub. Another man, aged 36, has been arrested following the incident and remains in police custody.
