Man, 21, dies after being stabbed at Primrose Hill viewpoint

A 21-year-old man has died after being stabbed at the viewpoint on Primrose Hill, London, according to police.

A murder investigation has been launched by the Metropolitan Police after officers were called to the park, which boasts panoramic views of the capital.

Police added that a second man, believed to be in his 20s, was found on nearby Regent's Park Road with stab wounds.

The force said they were called at 6.41pm on Tuesday to reports of a fight, and officers and paramedics attended the park.

Despite being treated for stab wounds, a 21-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The second injured man was taken to hospital, although his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.

The Met added that no arrests have been made, but a crime scene remains in place.

Superintendent Matt Cox described the incident as "utterly tragic" and sought to reassure the public.

In a statement, 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.

"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."
