A 16-YEAR-OLD is the latest victim of Broken Britain after being stabbed in London, Scotland Yard said today.

The teenager suffered multiple injuries in Beulah Crescent, Thornton Heath, south London, just before 2pm yesterday.

An air ambulance was scrambled but the victim was eventually taken to hospital by road after being treated at the scene.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the young man died in a south London hospital overnight.

A spokesman said the victim had been stabbed more than once but that the weapon had not yet been identified.

The unnamed teenager is the 18th victim this year of Londons knife crime crisis.

He was attacked four days after 16-year-old Ben Kinsella, brother of former EastEnders star Brooke Kinsella, was knifed to death in Islington, north London.
