Man stabbed to death at RE bar in Eastcote

Scotland Yard said there were about 40 people in the bar when Josh Hanson was stabbed

A 21-year-old man was stabbed to death in front of dozens of customers at a bar in north-west London.

Josh Hanson, of Kingsbury, north-west London, was stabbed in the neck at the RE bar in Eastcote at about 01:10 BST.

He died at the scene and no arrests have yet been made.

Scotland Yard said about 40 people were in the bar at the time of the attack and urged anyone there after midnight to contact them with information.

Det Ch Insp Noel McHugh said: "It is believed there would have been around 40 people present at the time of the incident, many of whom left the venue as paramedics worked to save Josh's life. It is imperative these people contact us to let us know what they saw.

"We are also keen to hear from anyone who was in Field End Road area at around 1am Sunday who may have seen or heard anything that they now think might be because of the incident at the RE bar."

The bar plays music three nights a week and has an over 21s policy.

It is applying for a late licence extension to open until 02:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, although at least 24 neighbours have registered their opposition to the plans on the basis of noise disturbance and past experiences of customers fighting and causing problems with drunken behaviour.
