He was treated by London ambulance service paramedics but was pronounced dead at the scene. Two males have been arrested and a crime scene is in place, the Met said, and added that inquiries were ongoing. Det Ch Supt James Conway, responsible for policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, said: “Our investigation is still in the early stages and my detectives are working hard to establish the circumstances of what has happened this afternoon. “If anyone has any information about this tragic incident, I urge them to come forward and speak to us, or you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously with any information. “A number of streets have been cordoned off as our investigation continues at pace and I am grateful for the patience of the local residents of Clapton. “Our thoughts are with the family of the victim at this difficult time. The public can expect to see continued and significant police activity in the local area as we continue with our rigorous investigation.” Anyone with any information has been asked to call police on 101 or message MetCC on X, quoting CAD 4793/28AUG.
