A 29-year-old man has died after being stabbed to death in a park in south-east London. The man was found injured when police were called to Straker’s Road, Peckham Rye Park, at about 20:25 GMT on Friday. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
No arrests have been made and the area around the scene has been cordoned off, the Metropolitan Police said. Any witnesses or anyone with information should contact police.
Organisers of a New Year’s Eve run in the park, which had been due to take place on Saturday morning, said the event had been cancelled.
