The 23-year-old was arrested in a hospital
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of a man in south London.
The Met Police said the 22-year-old victim died from a knife injury on Coldharbour Lane, Brixton, just before 17:00 BST on Tuesday.
Later that evening, a 23-year-old was arrested after attending a hospital.
The Met has appealed for information and asked people to refrain from putting videos relating to the incident on social media.
"I know that these videos are causing enormous distress for the loved ones of the victim, and I would ask people to respect them by not circulating this upsetting footage," said Det Insp Kevin Martin.
"This awful attack took place in broad daylight, in front of people simply going about their business.
"I don't underestimate the impact such a horrific incident will have had on anyone who saw it.
"We have heard from a number of people but I am asking anyone who witnessed it to speak to us, in confidence, about what they saw."
The Met said a number of crime scenes remained in place and increased patrols would take place in the area.
Formal identification had not yet taken place but the victim's next of kin had been made aware, the force added.
A post-mortem examination will be held on Thursday.
