A man who evaded police after a stop and search in Penge where a knife was recovered has still not been found.
This comes after the "nasty looking knife" was seized from the suspects' bag after he was searched at Penge East railway station yesterday.
However, he ran away from the Bromley Safer Transport Team and police said he did so to avoid arrest.
His identify is known to police and he is being "tracked down as a matter of urgency".
