A man was stabbed in East Dulwich, with a upmarket restaurant cordoned off following the attack.
The unnamed man was knifed in or outside the Spinach restaurant on Lordship Lane at 4.15pm this afternoon - though details of what happened are still emerging.
One Twitter user said online a friend saw someone take cover in the restaurant after being run off the road by a mopen.
Tom Cullen suggested an eye-witness told him the victim was then stabbed inside the restaurant.
stabbing at/outside Spinach. Apparently a moped with two lads ran another off the road, took refuge at spinach and was stabbed. Unsure of condition, heard second hand from a friend eating there.
