I cycled past this 10 mins after it happened but clearly victim and/or perpetrator were still there - lots of police,ambulance and air ambulance hovering above looking for place to land. Big crowd of people laughing, jostling, photographing and videoing events. Made me despair at what humans have become.

Hope victim makes full recovery.

This happened in Peckham in broad daylight.. at 17.00 ish ?

..It's one of the reason I would never think about wining or dining there in the evening or

waiting for a bus late at night.

Rye Lane is fine Foxy, you're not a 17yr old (I imagine).

If you WERE to dine there though - WHERE would you eat ?

[Blah Blah]

Rye lane is fully covered with CCTV and is full of people day and night. Perfectly safe. Like most stabbings, this was probably between two people who know each other - not a lawless random rampage through bargain basements and pound shops! But you are probably right to not wine there Fox. It's usually fully of drunken students stumbling between Canavans and the Bussey - all a bit too young and exciting for you ;)

I thought Peckham was the new ED?

[LondonMix]

There are stabbings in ED.

An isolated incident. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Not according to the numerous people photographing and videoing the scene, not just teenagers 'grown-ups' too, even a mum with a little one in a pushchair was straining to get a good angle for her photo. Lowlife.

I think we all know what people are capable of after a 'mother' was found to be encouraging her young kids to steal trainers during the riots....

How does CCTV keep anyone from being stabbed? It'll make sure the incident is filmed as will all those people who are around day and night.

[LondonMix]

That's really dreadful...

I remember reading somewhere that when Steven Speilberg was young and sirens were heard in his neighbourhood, his mother bundled the family into the car and went off in search of the emergency. She apparently threw her husband out of the house for being boring.....

Just before you judge the 'lowlife' mother straining to get closer to take a look...

I am a doctor, currently on maternity leave. I was taking my baby for a walk in the buggy and came upon the crowd etc. Just as any of my colleagues would do I quickly spoke to the police and offered to help the young victim, while a policeman kept an eye on my baby (kept v close by, and asleep in the buggy).

As it happens the first two people on the scene included an off-duty nurse and they had done pretty much all the necessary, and there was little for me to do before the paramedics arrived, other than be ready in case he deteriorated.

So that's why there was a mother and buggy keeping a v close eye on things. (I did not take any photos though. Not sure if you made that bit up or there was another mother and buggy close in that I didn't see.)

I used to feel far 'safer' and relaxed in Peckham (eg rye lane, waiting for buses) late at night than I ever did on that uneasy stretch of dog kennel hill in ED by sainsburys, ED station and all the way up to goose green.

Why would I make that up? The woman I saw with a child in s pushchair was standing at the back of the crowd, hence her need to stretch to get a 'good' photo.

Thankfully you were on hand quickly to help and perhaps you were concentrating on the victim to notice just how many lowlife were there. It was horrible, phones out- photographing, videoing, people laughing and jostling. Horrible.

I just checked, it's on You Tube. Pretty clear that the police were having to battle with 'spectators' to keep them back. :-(

[Seabag]

I've seen people doing similar things. I suppose it's always been this way, people in days of old turned up to watch public floggings and much worse. I personally don't get why you'd want to film it, then put it on YouTube or have the images to gawp at yourself, but it's the world we live in

[DulwichFox]

People filming these incidents may inadvertainly be providing evidence useful to police after the event.

So called Police 'super-recognisers' who can put names to faces may well want to look at these clips.

Perpetrators of the crime may well be lurking around in the background.

Is it legal to post videos of under age crime victims on line without their consent? I can't imagine it is.

Rahrahrah- if you pm me the youtube link I'll contact the company so its taken down.

Thanks Londonmix, I've PM'd you.

[JRJ]

Hi Kristymac1

yes, you're quite right. I had seen a photo on social media that had me (my back thankfully) and buggy in shot standing just nearby after the paramedics arrived and really didn't want people to think I was gawping. Phone was firmly in pocket! I didn't pay much attention to everyone else.

I think the young man will be ok. Poor guy.
