Two people have been arrested after a 22-year-old man was stabbed to death on a busy street in northwest London.

Police were called to the scene on High Road in Wembley just before 1pm on Monday.

Upon arrival, they found a 22-year-old man had been injured. He was treated at the scene by paramedics but later died in hospital.

His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

On Tuesday, a 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder at an address in Harrow, police said.

A woman, aged 21, was arrested at the same address on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Both remain in custody.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Waller, from the Met’s Homicide Command said: “We are grateful for the help we have already received from the local community and while we are not looking for anyone else in relation to this matter, I would encourage those who have not yet spoken to police to come forward as soon as possible.”

Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams, who leads policing for the area said: “We know this murder has caused shock and concern for residents and our officers are here to support those who live and work in the area. There will be an increased police presence at a number of locations – please do speak to these officers if you have any worries or issues.

“You can also speak directly to local ward officers by signing up to and using Met Engage.

“Our thoughts of course remain with the victim’s loved ones at this difficult time, and our specialist officers will continue to support them.”

Anyone with information can also contact 101, quoting 3333/1DEC25 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
