A 14-year-old schoolboy has been stabbed to death on a bus in south-east London, the Metropolitan Police said.
The teenager was treated at the scene in Woolwich but died soon after medics arrived, the force said.
The youngster was on a route 472 bus on Woolwich Church Road near the junction with the A205 South Circular Road, close to the Woolwich Ferry.
Police were called at 2.28pm on Tuesday and no arrests have yet been made.
Police cordons and road closures remain in place whilst emergency services carry out inquiries.
Some 10 teenagers were killed in London last year, nine of whom were the victims of stabbing while one died in a shooting, according to latest data.
This was down sharply from 21 teenage deaths in the capital in 2023.
The youngest victim in 2024 was aged 14.
