Police treated him at the scene in central Woolwich but Scotland Yard said the violent assault is not linked to the terror attack last week. The person was stabbed at 4pm in Wellington Street - across the road from where Lee Rigby was murdered - and he is not thought to have suffered life-threatening injuries. Hours earlier the family of murdered British soldier Lee Rigby paid an emotional visit to the scene where he was hacked to death close to Woolwich Barracks. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'The victim is a man in his mid 20s. His injuries are not thought to be life threatening. He will be taken to hospital. 'This incident happened geographically very close to where Lee Rigby died, but we do not believe what happened is linked to Lee's murder or any issues associated with it.' There have been no arrests. Initially today's stabbing horrified people as it was feared the attack may be linked to the killing, which has shocked the world. The streets wee filled with people who came to pay their respects. Lee Rigby was hacked to death by two attackers in the same street on Wednesday, also in broad daylight. Michael Adebolajo, 28, and his alleged accomplice Michael Adebowale, 22, are believed to have run down the off-duty British soldier with a Vauxhall Tigra as he walked back to the Woolwich Barracks, crushing his body against a road sign. A blood-soaked man believed to be Adebolajo, who was still holding a number of weapons in his red-stained hands, then ranted on camera in a clear London accent: 'You people will never be safe.

Drummer Rigby's mother Lyn, stepfather Ian and estranged wife Rebecca looked at the thousands of tributes in Woolwich and left a balloon from his two-year-old son Jack saying 'Dad in a million'. The relatives arrived at the place where he was killed at 12.40pm. They hugged and comforted each other before crossing the road to look at the spot where he was murdered on Wednesday. One clutched a teddy bear, while others held baskets of flowers which they left at the scene. They then spent a few moments in reflection, still clutching each other.

Aimee West, his fiancée, laid flowers with a handwritten note. In it, she said that Rigby will 'always have her heart' and that he was her 'guardian angel', before signing it off as his 'Princess'. Miss West, 22, who had flown back to the UK from Afghanistan, wore a green hooded top and an engagement ring as she took her time to read the tributes to her murdered partner. She was helped with the tribute by around 20 friends, who stood quietly as she paid her respects.
