The hunt is on for a knifeman who stabbed a 44-year-old man to death in North London
The hunt is on for a knifeman who stabbed a 44-year-old man to death in North London on Saturday (September 27). Police were called to Camden Gardens at around 3:30pm to reports of a stabbing where they found the wounded victim. The man was rushed from the scene by paramedics but he was declared dead in hospital.
The knifeman remains at large with no arrests made. Police have said urgent enquiries are on-going to locate the suspect. The force also needs to wait for formal identification, and a special post-mortem to confirm the cause of death.
Borough Commander Jason Sewart said: “My team are working at pace to establish the full circumstances that led to this man’s tragic death in Camden Gardens. Our thoughts remain with the victim’s family and friends at this very difficult time. They continue to be supported by specialist officers.
“A crime scene remains in place and residents can expect to see increased patrols in the local area as we carry out enquiries. We urge anyone in or around Camden Gardens to look at any CCTV camera footage and share anything that may be of use with police. This was an isolated incident and we do not believe there to be any threat to the wider public.”
Posting on X this morning, one user asked police: “What’s happened at Camden gardens? It’s shut off with crime scene photographers.” Another woman asked: “Can you guys let me know what has happened in Camden gardens please? My daughter and granddaughter live right by it (myself further up by Camden Tube) should I be concerned for their safety? Lots of police and ambulances all day.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 stating CAD4558/27Sept. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 in order to remain anonymous.
