Detectives have launched massive investigation after a 33-year-old man was stabbed to death in Waltham Forest, London.
Met Police were called shortly before 15:00hrs on Saturday, 6 July to reports of a man stabbed on Lea Bridge Road, E10.
The police, the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance attended to the scene, but despite their efforts, the 33-year-old man died at the scene.
The police said his next of kin had been informed and were being supported by specialist officers.
The police said a post-mortem examination would be held in due course, saying that formal identification had not yet taken place.
Detective Chief Inspector Linda Bradley from the Specialist Crime Command said his team was working around the clock to establish exactly what happened and what led to a man tragically losing his life.
Bradley said while the police had spoken with a number of witnesses, the police needed to hear from anyone who saw the suspect running away.
