Two 17-year-old boys were found with stab wounds on Old Kent Road in south east London late on Wednesday night. One remains in hospital in a life-threatening condition while the other was treated and described as having injuries that are not life-changing or life-threatening. A 17-year-old suspect was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a police pursuit and remains in custody.
