Detectives investigating a murder of a man in Tottenham have arrested two teenagers on suspicion of murder.

Police were called on Saturday, 22 December at around 01:20 hours by the London Ambulance Service (LAS) to a report of a stabbing in Albert Place, N17.

Officers attended along with the LAS and found a 25-year-old man with stab injuries.

He was taken to an east London hospital where he was pronounced dead at 02:13 hours.

Although police believe they know who the victim is, we await formal identification.

On Sunday, 23 December, police arrested two males on suspicion of murder; [A] a 15-year-old male and [B] a 16-year-old male.

They both remain in custody at north London police stations at this time for questioning.

The Homicide and Major Crime Command are investigating led by Detective Chief Inspector Glen Lloyd.
