Attackers stab man to death in Greenwich and escape on moped

Written by on 15/07/2017

Police have launched a murder inquiry after a man was stabbed to death in Greenwich, southeast London, with the attackers escaping on a moped.

Two men approached the 31-year-old victim at 12.15am on Saturday, fatally wounding him in King William Walk.

Gunshots were also fired.

The London Ambulance Service declared the victim dead at the scene.

Police are appealing for anyone with any information to get in contact.

Officers are yet to establish a motive for the attack and no arrests have been made.

On Thursday evening, a pair on a moped carried out five acid attacks in under 90 minutes across east and north London.

One man was left with "life changing" facial injuries and two bikes were allegedly stolen.

Two teenagers, aged 15 and 16, have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and robbery and remain in police custody in north London.
