| (about 4 hours later) | |
| A teenager was found fatally stabbed in west London by police responding to reports of a fight on Friday. | |
| The boy, believed to be 17, was discovered with stab injuries outside a block of flats in Isleworth at around 10.35pm. | |
| Officers carried out first aid and paramedics were called to the scene, but the victim was pronounced dead a short time later. | |
| A couple who live in the block of flats called the police after they heard shouting and looked out of their window to see the teenager being attacker by two men, one of whom was masked. | |
| The husband and wife, who did not want to be named, rushed to help the victim, but his attackers had fled by the time they reached him. | |
| “It was one guy who was massive with, like, a mask on his face and another small guy. They were kicking him [the victim], but it was dark, so it was hard to see exactly what was happening,” the 33-year-old man said. | |
| His wife, 35, added: “The boy was bleeding from the mouth. The blood was everywhere. He was still alive, there was someone else there trying to help by checking his pulse. He was responding but he couldn’t speak.” | |
| Halima Abubaker, a 22-year-old hairdresser, said she saw two men “running for their lives” around the time of the incident. | |
| She said: “I just heard loads of people, then there was seven police cars and two vans. | |
| “I’ve lived here two years and nothing like this has happened. I feel really sick.” | |
| Another man, who has lived in one of the flats for seven years, said he was shocked that the fatal stabbing had happened in the area. | |
| The restaurant owner and chef, who did not want to give his name, said: “It’s a nice area, it’s nice and quiet. We’ve never had a problem here before.” | |
| No arrests have been made. | |
| Scotland Yard has launched a murder investigation and is asking anyone with information to contact officers on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. | |
