A 21-year-old man has died following a stabbing at Primrose Hill, a well-known beauty spot in north London, according to the Metropolitan Police.
Police responded to reports of a fight at the Primrose Hill viewpoint at 18:41 BST on Tuesday.
Despite the efforts of paramedics from the London Ambulance Service, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
A second man, also in his 20s, was found by officers on nearby Regent's Park Road with stab wounds. He was transported to hospital, where his injuries were assessed as neither life-threatening nor life-changing. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
