A man lost his life after being stabbed on Islington Upper Street on Monday.
Marcel Campbell, 30, died from the injuries sustained during the incident and was pronounced dead at the scene, which occurred during broad daylight. He became the 67th person to be murdered in the capital this year, and the 42nd victim of a fatal stabbing.
Local business owner Gregory Barry said he saw the incident via his CCTV camera.
He told Press Association: “There were two blokes in a van, it pulled up on the street. It looked like there was an altercation and the fight carried on outside the van.”
At least a dozen police officers were called to the incident, with forensic officers scanning the scene of the stabbing and the road cordoned off.
