Three men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing on Clapham High Street.

Officers and paramedics treated one man on scene for stab wounds before taking them to hospital.

Separately, after the incident, two further men self-presented at hospital.

None of their injuries are thought to be life-threatening or life-changing.

The Met Police said that all three men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
