Appeal for witnesses after man stabbed to death outside Bethnal Green tube station in east London

Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was stabbed to death outside a Tube station in east London.

Officers were called at 10.35pm on Friday evening following reports of a knifing outside Bethnal Green underground station.

They found a 31-year-old man collapsed on the forecourt of a petrol station on the junction between Old Ford Road and Cambridge Heath Road in Bethnal Green.

The man was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead an hour later. His next of kin have been informed.

Police believe that he attended a boxing event at York Hall on Old Ford Road before an "altercation" with a number of people took place.

No arrests have been made.

Detectives are said to be keeping an open mind regarding any motive, but have issued an appeal for witnesses.

Anyone with information should ring the incident room on 020 8345 3715, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via Crimestoppers-uk.org.
