A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a young woman died on a north London street.

The London ambulance service called police to the Brookbank building on Turkey Street in Enfield at about 5.50pm on Sunday, where they found a woman with serious injuries.

“A woman, aged in her 20s, was found injured in the street and was sadly pronounced deceased at the scene,” a Met police spokesman said.

“A man was arrested nearby on suspicion of murder and has been taken to a north London police station.”

Next of kin have been informed of the woman’s death.

A postmortem and formal identification will be carried out, and police are continuing their investigations. The scene remains sealed off behind a police cordon on Sunday night.

Anyone with any information has been encouraged to call police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
