A crime scene is currently in place on Cable Street in Tower Hamlets after the Metropolitan Police were called at 6.43pm following reports of a stabbing.
11:50 EDT, 19 January 2021
A man has been arrested over the fatal stabbing of a father and two other attacks carried out in less than a week in north-west London.
Delivery driver Leon Street, 48, was stabbed to death on Monday night last week in Neasden, close to where he lived with his fiancee.
A 47-year-old man was stabbed around 10 minutes earlier, while a third man, who is in his thirties, was also attacked on Sunday.
Detectives have linked the three stabbings but said they are keeping an open mind over the motive as none of the victims appear to have been robbed, and the attacker is not believed to have said anything significant to them.
A 20-year-old man was arrested today on suspicion of stabbing a delivery driver to death and seriously wounding two others in north west London. Leon Street, 48, suffered fatal chest wounds near the home he shared with his fiancée in Neasden Lane North, Neasden, at 9.30pm on Monday, January 11. Ten minutes earlier, a man in his 40s was injured in nearby Press Road. Police patrols were stepped up but the attacker struck again at 9.50am on Sunday,.
