Man killed in Primrose Hill stabbing as police open murder investigation
Police have launched a murder investigation after a man was fatally stabbed in Primrose Hill this evening.
Officers were called to reports of a fight at the view point at 6:41 pm. Ambulance crews, including an advanced paramedic practitioner, incident response officers, and London’s Air Ambulance all attended the scene.
A 21-year-old man was treated for stab wounds, but sadly, despite the best efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Another man, believed to be in his 20s, was found by police nearby on Regent’s Park Road, also with stab wounds. He was taken to a major trauma center by paramedics and his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.
No arrests have been made at this early stage and a crime scene remains in place, police say. Superintendent Matt Cox said: "This is an utterly tragic incident and our thoughts remain with the man’s family and loved ones.
"I would like to reassure the local community that the investigation is unfolding at pace and an increased police presence will remain in the area while we carry out enquiries.
"I would appeal for anyone who was in the area at the time and has any information that could help my officers to come forward."
