The incident in Prince Imperial Road on January 6 has been described as “scary” by people in the surrounding areas, after swarms of emergency services were dispatched to the scene.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police were alerted to an 18-year-old suffering stab wounds in the residential road at around 4.20pm yesterday.
The teen was taken to hospital in a critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
He has since been confirmed as a student at the nearby Shooters Hill Sixth Form, which lies just a three minute walk from the scene.
One person, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: ‘’I also have children who go school near here.
“It’s honestly so terrifying that a young man has been stabbed. My thoughts are with him.’’
Medical kits have been left strewn on the pavement within a large crime scene.
Police officers have remained at the scene today (January 7), with the sixth form closed to students.
Parents and carers at the college were informed of the closure, telling them that students will study from home today in the wake of the incident.
Another local who wished to be anonymous said: ‘’Unfortunately these things are happening way too often, we didn’t see what happened here but once we were bringing the kids back from school we just saw loads of police and ambulance just swarm this part of the street. So scary.’’
However, Abdou who has lived in the community for nearly 15 years told the News Shopper that he is “not surprised” by the stabbing.

He said: ‘’It is always chaotic around here after and before school, so many students everywhere.
“You’d always see fights or people arguing. I’m not surprised that someone has been hurt.’’
There have been no arrests at this stage.
