Murder squad detectives have made an arrest after a man died hours after being found with multiple stab wounds in a Southall street.

Emergency services were called to Spikes Bridge Road just after 11pm last night, and found the victim had suffered a number of stab wounds.

The 33-year-old was rushed to hospital by paramedics, but he was pronounced dead at about 6.30 this morning.

A 24-year-old man was arrested today on suspicion of murder.

He has been taken to a north London police station, where he remains in custody.

Police said that the man has yet to be formally identified, although officers believe they know his identity, adding that a post mortem examination will be held in due course.

Detectives are appealing for any witnesses to come forward, and are seeking to trace a car that was seen in the area at the time.

An incident room has opened in Hendon under Detective Chief Inspector Mark Lawson.

DCI Lawson said: "I need to hear from anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious, especially in the Viking Road and Spikes Bridge Road area from around 11pm on Saturday night.

"I also want to trace a car which was seen driving in the area immediately before the assault. The car, which may be a Vauxhall, is thought to have contained three or four males."

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation should call the incident room on 020 8358 0200. To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
