A young man is being treated in hospital after he was stabbed in south-east London.
The man, 25, was slashed in the torso and also suffered a head injury in an attack in Erith on Friday evening.
Police and paramedics were called to Hurstwood Avenue just after 8pm.
The man remains in hospital in a stable condition, Scotland Yard said.
Neighbours said a large number of police officers descended on the suburban street and went door to door in search of the culprit.
One said on Facebook: “Police outside my house, looks like they found a weapon in the drain.
“Not allowed to leave in case of contamination of crime scene we were told.”
Police said they were not linking the attack to a shooting that took place just hours earlier in Erith.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “Officers from Bexley CID are investigating.
“No arrests have been made and enquires continue.”
Anyone with information can call police on 101.
