Woolwich stabbing leaves man in hospital

  • Published

A man in his 20s is in hospital after being stabbed in Woolwich.

Police said it happened just a "few streets away" from the scene of Wednesday's attack on Drummer Lee Rigby, but it is not being linked to the killing.

A spokesman said the victim sustained non-life threatening injuries in the stabbing, just before 16:00 BST.

Mr Rigby, with the 2nd Battalion Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was run over and then fatally injured, last Wednesday.
