Today in Lewisham, a murder investigation was launched after a man in his 20s was stabbed on Rushey Green shortly after 3 a.m. He was treated by ambulance services and taken to hospital but unfortunately died. The police are currently investigating, with no arrests yet, and a crime scene remains in place. The community is asked to come forward with any information if they have it.

Separately, earlier in the year there was an armed police standoff on Lewisham High Street, but that is unrelated to today's incident.

Additionally, Lewisham is undergoing major changes with plans to demolish the historic shopping center to build thousands of new homes, but this is a longer-term development unrelated to today's events.
