Met Police confirmed a man, in his 40s, was found with a stab wound last night in Railton Road, Herne Hill.
He was taken to hospital for treatment as police add the latest incident to their books following a wave of violence across London.
Detectives are current probing 55 murders and scores of stabbings as the capital suffers a wave of knife and gun crime.
The attack was the seventh in London in just 24 hours – which shockingly included six attacks in just 90 minutes of one another.
No arrests have yet been made as police continue to investigate.
A Met Police spokesman said: “Police were called at approximately 22:05hrs to reports of a stabbing on Railton road, SE24.
"Officers attended along with LAS. A man, believed to be in his 40's, was found with a stab wound.
"He has been taken to hospital where he remains with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.
"Road closures are in place. No arrests; enquiries continue."
Outrage has swept Britain due to the level of violent crime in the capital – which has seen children as young as 13 stabbed, a 16-year-old boy shot dead.
Gangs and drugs have both been blamed for the rising crime, along with the finger being pointed at social media.
Met Police chief Cressida Dick claimed websites and mobile apps allow rows between rivals to escalate “within minutes”.
And it emerged today, the so-called NPK gang claimed the killing of Tanesha Melbourne, 17, with a boastful post on Instagram.
David Lammy MP has described the latest incidents as the worst he has ever seen in his 18 years representing Tottenham.
He blamed rampant cocaine dealing for the violence, and described it being as easy to get the drug as it was to order takeaway.
Met Police chiefs have promised an “Al Capone”-esque crackdown on violent criminals using a new specialist squad.
Hotspots will be targeted and individuals removed from the streets in a bid to curb the bloodshed.
