A 25-year-old man who was fatally stabbed in Tottenham has been named by police.
The young man was found on Sunday evening (March 5), after police were called at 10.17pm to reports of a stabbing on Arnold Road.
Officers attended alongside the London Ambulance Service (LAS), with the man treated at the scene before being taken to hospital, where he sadly died that same night.
While yet to be formally identified, police have now said the young man is believed to be Jordan Briscoe. His family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
Det Ch Insp Linda Bradley, who is leading the investigation, said: “My heartfelt sympathies go to Jordan’s family and friends. Specialist support is in place to help them, and I can assure them that my colleagues and I will do everything possible to bring to justice anyone involved in this tragic killing.
“Cordons are in place as officers conduct detailed forensic enquiries in the local area. Searches are taking place and extensive enquiries are under way to obtain all CCTV footage that may assist the investigation.
“I am appealing for anyone who saw anything suspicious in and around Arnold Road, Philip Lane and the surrounding area to get in touch. A number of local people have already spoken with officers to tell us what they saw or heard. I thank them for their support, and urge others to come forward to police or, if they wish to remain anonymous, to contact Crimestoppers.”
Det Ch Supt Caroline Haines, in charge of local policing for the Met’s North Area Command Unit, said: “Officers working at the scene have been speaking with local people, including making house to house enquiries. I urge anyone with information or concerns about crime in the area to speak with those officers.
