Police called to reports of a large gang fight in Deptford last night (May 7) turned up to find nothing there but some discarded weapons.

Lewisham police tweeted last night that they were called to a "large gang fight" in Tanners Hill, with reports someone had been glassed.

But they wrote a short while later: "Discarded weapons found. No one wanting to speak to police."

A spokesman for the Met Police confirmed they were called out at 9.48pm  to reports of a disturbance.

They said: "Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and found no trace of a victim and no crime alleged."

No details of what weapons were found have been revealed.
