A MAN has been arrested following a stabbing this afternoon around 300m from the spot where Drummer Lee Rigby was murdered.
Emergency services were called to Wellington Street at 3.53pm today and found a man suffering from stab wounds to his chest and arm.
The stabbing victim’s injuries are not life threatening and he has been taken to a south London hospital for treatment.
Detectives have now confirmed a man has been arrested in connection with the assault and he is in custody at a south London police station.
It is thought there is no link to Drummer Rigby’s murder nor with the English Defence League activity in the area.
