Four men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 26-year-old man was stabbed to death outside a nightclub in south London.
Two other men were injured and are in hospital in a life-threatening condition.
The Metropolitan Police said officers and London Ambulance Service paramedics were called at 3:54am on Monday to reports of a disturbance in Ruby Street, Peckham, and found the man with stab wounds.
Later on Monday four men, one aged 18 and three aged 24, were arrested on suspicion of murder, and they all remain in custody.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, who is leading the Met’s investigation, said:
“This is a deeply tragic incident, and our thoughts are with the victim’s family during this difficult time.
“We have already arrested four men and our investigation continues at pace.
“We are aware of the concern that this will cause the local community and those in the area will notice an increased police presence throughout the day.
“This assault occurred outside a busy nightclub, and we’d encourage anyone who has any information, dashcam or mobile phone footage which could support the investigation to contact us.”
