The Metropolitan Police have launched a murder investigation after a man was fatally stabbed at Primrose Hill, one of north London’s most popular public spaces.
Officers were called to reports of a fight at the hill’s viewpoint at 6.41pm on Tuesday, 7 April. Paramedics from the London Ambulance Service attended a 21-year-old man at the scene, but despite their efforts he was pronounced dead.
A second man, also in his 20s, was found nearby with stab wounds. His injuries were not considered life-threatening, and he was taken to hospital by police.
No arrests have been made. A crime scene remains active in the area.
Superintendent Matt Cox said: “This is an utterly tragic incident and our thoughts remain with the man’s family and loved ones.” He added that the investigation was “unfolding at pace” and that an increased police presence would remain in the area while enquiries continued.
Supt Cox also appealed directly to the public. “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,” he said.
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting CAD 6448/07APR, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
