Three people have been rushed to hospital after reports of a machete attack at a south-east London pub.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson told the Mirror Online three patients were treated at the scene in Wilton Road, Abbey Wood, after an emergency call at 10.05pm on Monday.

Two were taken to a major trauma centre and one to hospital.

The incident is thought to have happened at or near the Abbey Arms pub with photos emerging showing blood on the floor near social distancing markers.

One witness claimed a gang of men with machetes attacked a smaller group.
