The Metropolitan police have launched a murder investigation after a teenager was stabbed and killed in south-east London.
Police and paramedics were called to reports of a stabbing on Hervey Road, Blackheath, at about 8.10pm on Wednesday, where they found a 19-year-old with stab wounds. He was treated at the scene before being taken to a south-east London hospital where he died.
“We sent a paramedic in a car, an ambulance crew, an incident response officer and an advanced paramedic to the scene,” a London ambulance service spokeswoman said.
Detectives from the Met’s homicide and major crime command are investigating and have appealed for witnesses. Police said the victim’s next of kin had been informed, but did not release his name.
