Reform UK's candidate for London Mayor, Howard Cox, hit out at Mr Khan for what he dubbed an "avoidable knife attack".
In response to Tuesday's attack Mr Khan said he was "absolutely devastated" and praised emergency services for their response.
This comes after Mr Khan joked about knife crime in London during a debate on LBC last week.

Tory candidate for London Mayor Susan Hall raised concerns over machete-wielding gangs on London's streets, but was dismissed by Mr Khan.
Ms Hall said: "Go out on the streets at night time and see about the gangs running around with machetes because that's the stories I'm hearing from the people that are running the night economy. That is not good.
The Labour politician said his rival should "stop watching The Wire – we’re not living in Baltimore, USA, in the noughties.”
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) knife crime in the capital has hit a record high, surpassing the previous peak in 2019.
