A man has been arrested after a man was stabbed in a late-night fight outside a pub.

A man in his 60s was rushed to hospital after being knifed in New Malden High Street at 11pm on Thursday.

His condition was downgraded to not life threatening at a south London hospital.

The high street was cordoned off with some buses put on diversion.

A 42-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of GBH and remains in custody, police said.

“Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and the man, aged in his 60s, was taken to hospital for treatment; his condition is not life threatening.

“Enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing.”
