Police have launched a murder investigation after a man was stabbed to death on a busy north London high street.

A man, believed to be in his 30s, was found by police and paramedics with a stab wound on Camden High Street close to Greenland Road at 3.46am.

He was taken to a central London hospital where he died just under an hour later.

The man has not been identified and police said his family have yet to be informed.

No arrests have been made.

Detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command are investigating and have called for anyone near Camden Town Tube station or the high street at the time of the stabbing to contact them.

Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh said: “It is possible that you may have information that will help us establish what led to the murder.

"The area has a busy nightlife and I am certain that there are people who are yet to speak with officers and I would urge them to come forward.

“I would also like to hear from any bus drivers or taxi drivers who may have witnessed the stabbing or the minutes leading up to it."

Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room on 020 8785 8099 or via 101. Alternatively, to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
