Written by on 15/09/2019

A 30-year-old man has died after being found with stab wounds in north London.

Police found the man with serious injuries on Houndsfield Road in Edmonton at around 8.10pm on Saturday.

He died at the scene shortly after 9pm.

Scotland Yard said inquiries were ongoing to establish the victim’s identity and his family has not been informed.

A 40-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and is being held in custody.

The Metropolitan Police said: “At this early stage, urgent inquiries are under way to establish the circumstances.”

The death comes less than 24 hours after a 34-year-old man died in hospital on Saturday after suffering stab wounds during an incident at a chicken shop in Lewisham, south London.

Meanwhile, a 16-year-old boy has been arrested after another teenager was stabbed in east London.

Police said a 15-year-old boy was stabbed in the area of Dalston Lane, suffering non life-threatening injuries.

Apart from the arrest of the 16-year-old, the police said a further crime scene was in place in the Clarence Road area of Hackney, where a knife was found.

Anyone who witnessed the incident in Edmonton is asked to call police on 101 quoting CAD 7400/14 sept, or to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
