Man dies after triple stabbing in north London

Three men have been taken to hospital, after a fight on Tuesday night in Barnet, north London.

One of these men was treated at the scene before going to hospital; however he died of his wounds later that night.

This is the fifth killing in London within the last six days.

Officers arrived at Wellbeck Road at 22:50 to address the reports of the incident, where all three men were found with stab wounds.

The other two injured men have since been discharged from the hospital, and the Metropolitan Police have launched a murder investigation.

So far, no arrests have been made.

The increase of stabbing incidents in recent days have led to police forces increasing their patrols in certain hotspots of London.

Sadiq Khan, London's Mayor, has received criticism over the fatal stabbings in the capital. However, he suggests that there is a link between recent police cuts and the rise of violent crime.

Inquiries into the fight are still ongoing, the area around the scene has been cordoned off, and officials are appealing for witnesses with potential information.
