Man, 21, fatally stabbed on London's Primrose Hill

A 21-year-old man has been fatally stabbed at a popular north London beauty spot, the Metropolitan Police has said.

Officers were called to reports of a fight at the Primrose Hill viewpoint at 18:41 BST on Tuesday.

Despite the efforts of paramedics from the London Ambulance Service the victim died at the scene.

A second man, aged in his 20s, was discovered by officers on nearby Regent's Park Road with stab wounds. He was taken to hospital, where his injuries were assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing. No arrests have been made.

A large cordoned-off crime scene remains in place across the park and surrounding streets.

Supt Matt Cox described the stabbing as an "utterly tragic incident".

"Our thoughts remain with the man's family and loved ones," he said.

"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."

He appealed for anyone who was in the area at the time to contact the police to help in the investigation.
