East London double stabbing: Man killed and another fighting for his life in Hainault

Manford Way, Hainault, north east London ( Google )

A murder investigation has been launched after a man was stabbed to death and another left with serious injuries in north-east London.

The 23-year-old was killed in Manford Way, Hainault, in the latest fatal attack in the capital.

A 22-year-old was rushed to hospital and remains in critical condition after the incident at 10.20pm on Friday.

Scotland Yard said no arrests had been made as of Saturday morning.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident less than an hour earlier, a man was shot by two assailants on a moped in Hackney.

Emergency services were called to the scene on Amhurst Road, at 9.30pm on Friday. The victim, thought to be in his 20s, was taken to hospital where his condition is not believed to be life-threatening.

The incidents come amid heightened concern about rising levels of violent crime in what has been called “lawless London”.

The total the number of killings in the capital topped 100 last month.
