Two teenage boys have been arrested on suspicion of murder following a fatal stabbing in Tottenham.

Police arrested the pair on Sunday and they both remain in custody at north London police stations at this time for questioning.

A 25-year-old man was found stabbed on Saturday morning at around 1.20am, in Albert Place, and died of his wounds after being taken to hospital.

He was pronounced dead just before 2.15am.

The two boys, aged 15 and 16, were arrested on Sunday, the Metropolitan Police said.

Detective Chief Inspector Glen Lloyd said: "Whilst we have made good progress with two arrests, I still need to hear from anyone who has information that could assist with my investigation.

"At the heart of this, we have an innocent young man who has been brutally murdered just days before Christmas.

"If you are reluctant to speak with police directly, please share what you know with Crimestoppers anonymously."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
