@myldn @metpoliceuk why are there no updates or reporting on a serious incident today in #Pimlico #LillingtonGardens today - whenever something serious happens it is never reported. Why? #Crime #Westminster pic.twitter.com/f1kjsKPIVn

His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Images taken at the scene of the stabbing on Sunday appeared to show bloody cloths lying on the floor, while police had taped off the street.
Later in the day, an officer wearing what appeared to be a forensics suit was pictured at the scene.
A Met Police spokesperson said on Monday: “At this early stage, it is believed that the man was assaulted during a robbery.”
“There have been no arrests and enquiries continue.”
