A 14-year-old boy was rushed to hospital after being stabbed in the back last night (June 25).

Police were called at 8.03pm to Eddystone Road, Crofton Park, following reports of a stabbing.

Officers and the London Ambulance attended and found a boy, believed to be 14, suffering a stab injury to the back.

A spokesman for the Met Police said: "He has been taken to a south London hospital for treatment - his injury is not life-threatening.

"Enquiries continue to establish where he received his injuries."

Lewisham police are investigating but no arrests have been made so far.

The news comes just days after another 14-year-old was stabbed on his way to school in New Cross.
