His next of kin have been informed but formal identification is yet to take place.
Detective Chief Inspector Vicky Tunstall, of the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “It would appear that an altercation occurred between two males just along from the tube station at around 22:15hrs on Sunday evening.
“During that altercation, one of the males was punched and, sadly, died at the scene.
“Although the area was not believed to be busy at the time due to COVID restrictions, I am appealing to those who own commercial or residential premises near to 243 Field End Road to make contact with us if you have CCTV cameras in your premises. Additionally, were you driving along this road at that time either in your own vehicle, a commercial vehicle or via public transport?
“We are particularly interested in tracing a small, red car which is believed to have passed the incident at the relevant time.
“We urge anyone who saw the incident or may have captured the events leading up to it on CCTV to make contact with police.”
Anyone who can assist is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting CAD 6317/10 Jan.
