One person has died and two have suffered injuries after an early morning triple stabbing attack in Clapham.
Paramedics rushed to the scene shortly after 4am this morning in Wandsworth Road on the Clapham and Battersea border.
London Ambulance Service says one victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and another was rushed to hospital.

‘We sent a number of resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, paramedics in fast response cars, an advanced paramedic, an incident response officer and London’s Air Ambulance.
‘Our crews treated three people at the scene. Sadly, despite the best effort of emergency services, one person died at the scene. One person was conveyed to a major trauma centre and another was conveyed to hospital.’
It is understood that the injuries of the two people in hospital are not believed to be life-threatening.
