A young man has died after he was attacked and stabbed in a north London street in the capital's seventh knife killing in just 10 days.

The 23-year-old man made his own way to hospital after he was knifed in Southgate on Tuesday evening, police said.

Scotland Yard said he travelled more than four miles to Barnet Hospital after he was stabbed in The Fairway near to the junction with Masefield Crescent.

He arrived at the hospital at about 7.30pm with several stab wounds.

Doctors fought to save him but he was pronounced dead almost an hour later.

Last week, six men were killed in knife attacks in London and several others seriously injured in stabbings.

Police said detectives have launched a murder probe and the man’s next of kin have been informed.

Formal identification is yet to take place and a post-mortem examination is being arranged.

There have been no arrests.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room on 020 8721 4205 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
