A 16-year-old has been arrested after stabbing another pupil at a school in south London.
Footage shared online showed a number of police vehicles outside Elmgreen School as pupils headed home in Tulse Hill, London on Thursday afternoon.
The victim, also 16, suffered minor injuries after being stabbed, police said.
It comes just days after two teenage girls were also stabbed in the area - around half a mile from the school.

This is the moment a group of youths started brawling in the street around the time that two teenage girls aged 16 and 17 were stabbed.
Five youngsters were seen on CCTV walking down the backstreet in West Norwood, South London, when they were attacked by another group off camera yesterday afternoon - but it is unclear if the two incidents are linked.
One youth lashed out at an unseen rival, prompting friends to get involved who were seen punching and kicking out at others just out of shot as onlookers watched.
The older girl was taken to hospital by air ambulance which landed on the roof of a nearby B&Q. Her condition was initially life threatening but she is now serious but stable. The younger girl did not suffer life-threatening injuries.

Surge testing sites have been set up in South London after dozens of cases of the South African variant were discovered this week.
One in five people living in the London borough of Lambeth have two or more long-term health conditions, a study has shown.
Anonymous data of 826,936 patients registered at 41 GP practices in the borough were obtained and analysed dating back as far as 2005.
It revealed 21 per cent of all residents have at least two preexisting conditions, with the average number of comorbidities being three and increasing with age.
Many of these health conditions have previously been linked to increased risk of death from the coronavirus.
