Tottenham Hotspur: Murder probe after stabbing near stadium

A man has been found stabbed to death near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He was found unresponsive at 05:51 BST in Northumberland Park in Haringey, north London, said the Met Police, which has launched a murder inquiry.

The man suffered a number of stab injuries and, despite receiving CPR, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sunday evening's match between Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest will still take place, Spurs said in a statement.

"Following an incident in which an individual has lost their life, we are doing everything to accommodate the ongoing police investigation, which is of the utmost importance," the club said.

"We shall update supporters as and when we can, and ask for fans to be patient and allow extra travel time."

'No stone unturned'

There have not been any arrests. Police believe they know who the victim is and are working to inform his next of kin.

Ch Insp Stephen Johnston-Keay said: "I can assure local people that specialist detectives are investigating and will leave no stone unturned in working to establish what happened to him, and to identify and arrest those responsible.

"I would like to thank local people for their patience and understanding while we go about this crucial work.

"If you have information that could help us, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please tell us. You will see officers on the cordons and on patrol and they will be ready to listen to you."

Some road closures are in place.
