A murder investigation has been launched after a man in his 30s died after being stabbed on Camden High Street in the early hours this morning.

A Met spokesman said: “The man, believed to be aged in his late 30s, was taken to a central London hospital where he died.”

“Next of kin are yet to be informed and formal identification has not taken place.”

Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh, said: “I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of Camden Town Underground Station or the high street at the time of the stabbing to contact police. It is possible that you may have information that will help us establish what led to the murder.

“The area has a busy nightlife and I am certain that there are people who are yet to speak with officers and I would urge them to come forward. I would also like to hear from any bus drivers or taxi drivers who may have witnessed the stabbing or the minutes leading up to it.”
