A man has died and a teenager is injured following a stabbing in north London.

Police arrived at a flat in Wilderton Road, Stamford Hill, just before 1am, after receiving reports of a fight.

A 20-year-old man was taken to hospital but died of his injuries several hours later. His next of kin have been informed, officers said, and a murder investigation is under way.

The teenager, a 17-year-old, was also admitted to hospital but his injuries are not believed to be serious.

No arrests have been made so far.

The death comes amid a surge of fatal knife crime in the capital, with London Mayor Sadiq Khan pledging to treat the problem as a public health issue.
