A man is fighting for his life in hospital this morning after being stabbed in the neck in north London.

The 28-year-old victim is in critical condition after he was attacked in Watling Avenue, Edgware shortly after 1.30am.

A picture from the scene showed a police cordon outside a minicab office and fast food shop close to Burnt Oak tube station.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We were called at 1.35am to Watling Avenue, Edgware. A man aged 28 was found suffering from a stab wound to the neck. He has gone to hospital in a critical condition."

Part of nearby Orange Hill Road was closed while police investigated but has since been reopened.

No arrests have been made.
