A man in his 20s has died after being found outside a hospital bleeding to death.
The unidentified victim suffered a number of stab injuries before being driven to a London A&E department by a friend.
Police found him outside King’s College Hospital in Denmark Hill in the early hours of this morning.
Officers were dealing with another case when they happened upon the gravely injured man shortly before 5am.
He was being taken for medical help after being attacked in Clapham High Street minutes earlier, it is believed.
Officers administered first aid and arranged for the man to be treated by medics but he died a short time later.
His family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers while formal identification and a post-mortem examination are yet to be arranged.
Detective inspector Matt Denby said: ‘As I begin work alongside dedicated colleagues and homicide investigators, my thoughts and sympathies are with this man’s family and friends.
