The Metropolitan Police confirmed that no arrests have been made and that urgent inquiries are ongoing. A crime scene remains in place as investigations continue.

A spokesperson for the University of Greenwich said: "Following a police incident in front of our Avery Hill campus overnight, the main entrance is currently closed, although the rest of the campus is open as usual. Staff, students, and visitors will be directed to an alternative entrance by stewards upon arrival. There may be some delays to the campus bus service as a result. We will keep you updated this morning to advise when the main entrance is reopened."
