A man has been stabbed to death in horrific scenes near a busy Tube station in north London.

Emergency services rushed to Green Lanes near Turnpike Lane station in Haringey at about 9.45pm on Saturday where they found a "seriously injured" man.

Shocked witnesses described how paramedics battled to save the man, aged in his 30s, however he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Photos posted on social media show scores of police cars and ambulances at the scene as a police cordon was put in place.

In others a white tent can be seen erected on the pavement while a forensic investigation was carried out.

The Met Police has launched a murder investigation – its 74th in the capital since the start of 2018. No arrests have been made.

A spokesman said: “Officers believe they know the identity of the man and are in the process of informing next of kin.

“Formal identification and a post-mortem examination will be arranged in due course.

“An urgent investigation has been launched by detectives from Haringey CID. An incident room will open under detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command early on Sunday morning.”

Nearby roads – and Ducketts Common, where police believe the victim may have been stabbed – were cordoned off while investigations were carried out.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
