A 19-year-old man who was stabbed to death in London last night rang his family to tell them he was not going to survive, according to a report.
Police found the teenager fighting for his life when they responded to reports of a fight outside a block of flats in Fullwell Avenue, Ilford, London.
Officers desperately tried to save his life and administered first aid before paramedics arrived, however the victim died at the scene.
The man's uncle told UK News in Pictures that his nephew rang him at around 10.30pm to tell him he knew he was going to die.
He said: "I received the call, I knew he was in some trouble from the way he was speaking on the phone. He said he’d been stabbed and wasn’t going to make it.
"I went out trying to look for him. I looked in a number of difference places and could find him.
"The words will stay with me. Another life has been taken so soon."
Enquiries are ongoing to inform his next of kin and there have not yet been any arrests.
Police and the London Fire Brigade had been called around the same time at 10.20pm to reports of a fire at a nearby set of garages.
Officers are working to establish whether the incidents are linked.
A Section 60 Order has been implemented for the entirety of the Borough of Redbridge until 6.30am.
