Officers were called at 4.19am on Saturday to Thamesmead following reports of multiple people being injured at an event, according to the Metropolitan Police.
The five men – aged 22, 24, 24, 31 and 32 – were found with stab wounds and taken to hospital.
Three of the victims sustained injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing while two are still undergoing medical assessment.
All five have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder, police said.“Officers responded quickly to provide medical assistance to the five injured people alongside the London Ambulance Service and ensure the safety of around 300 people, who were at this music event,“ Detective Inspector Steven Andrews said.
„The five men who have been injured have been arrested for violent disorder and we continue to work to establish any wider involvement.“
Inquiries are ongoing and a cordon will remain at the scene throughout the day, he said.
