In the stabbing on Saturday, police and paramedics were scrambled to Creek Road in Deptford, south east London just before midnight.
They found a young man with stab wounds next to an anti-knife campaign poster on the side of a bus stop.
The victim, believed to be 22, was taken to a hospital in south London but he was pronounced dead at 12.40am.
His death comes just days after police announced their 100th murder probe in the capital this year after Carole Harrison, 73, was found dead at home in Teddington, south west London.

Although 101 investigations have been announced this year, it does not mean there have been that many murders.
Some were later treated as manslaughter, one person was found to have died of natural causes, while another was a five-year-old missing person case that detectives revealed was being treating as murder in May.
No arrests have been made in the Deptford case and the Homicide and Major Crime Command have been informed.
