A 20-year-old man has been stabbed in the chest and arm in Woolwich just days after the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby.

The attack took place about 300 metres from the spot where flowers and cards were left in memory of the Drummer Rigby.

Police said in a statement that they were called at 3.53pm to reports of a stabbing incident along Wellington Street.

The victim's injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

A man has been arrested over the attack and is in custody at a south London police station.

Sky News Reporter James Banks says there appears to be no connection between the stabbing and the soldier's murder.

Earlier, the soldier's family visited the scene of the attack, as memorial services were held in his honour across the country.
