A murder investigation has been launched after a man in his 20s died following a stabbing in Southall.
Police were called at 12.41am on Wednesday, 10 June, by London Ambulance Service following reports of a stabbing in North Road.
Officers and paramedics attended and found two injured men at the scene.
Despite the efforts of medical staff, one of the men, who had suffered a knife wound, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police are working to identify and inform his next of kin.
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police’s Specialist Crime Command have launched a murder investigation.
Seven men, aged from their early 20s to late 30s, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. Six remain in police custody.
A seventh man, aged in his 30s, was taken to hospital where he remains. Police said his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Detective Chief Inspector Matthew Denby, who is leading the investigation, said:
“My thoughts remain with the loved ones of the man who has died.
“We believe that the two men suffered wounds during an altercation outside a property on North Road. I would like to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time or who has CCTV footage of what occurred.
“There is a large police cordon in place on North Road and surrounding streets. This is likely to remain while our enquiries continue, and I want to thank residents for their patience.”
Anyone with information or footage is asked to contact police on 101 quoting CAD 215/10JUN26, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
