The latest London stabbing took place in Rotherhithe, in the south-east of the city, earlier this morning.
A man and woman were slashed after "intervening in a robbery" in St Elmos Road, police revealed.
The pair are not thought to have suffered life-threatening injuries after being discovered in the nearby Stave Hill Ecological Park.
One Twitter user said: “I walked by and the path leading to the hill from the park is cordoned off. A scooter and bike lay by.”

“At this early stage in the investigation it is believed the victims received their injuries while they were intervening in a robbery.”
