Man stabbed to death in Thornton Heath as police hunt killer
A 27-year-old man has been stabbed to death with the killer still on the loose.
The Met was called at around 10.30pm last night to Mayfield Crescent, Thornton Heath, following reports of a stabbing.
Officers responded with London’s Air Ambulance and London Ambulance Service, and found a man with stab injuries.
The injured man was treated at the scene but despite the efforts of emergency services to save him, he sadly died there.
A spokesman for the Met said: “At this early stage there have been no arrests.
“Police are working to establish the circumstances and need anyone who saw the incident, or has mobile or dash cam footage that could help, to call 101 or post @MetCC ref CAD 7509/19 Dec.
“To remain 100% anonymous call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or visit crimestoppers-uk.org.”
West Thornton Labour said in a post on X: “We are saddened to learn that a man died from stab injuries in Mayfield Crescent last night. We extend our condolences to his family and friends. We are liaising with the council & MPS to ensure reassurance is provided to our residents living locally.”
