West Ealing: Man stabbed to death outside railway station | West Ealing: Man stabbed to death outside railway station |
(about 7 hours later) | |
A man has died after being found fatally stabbed in a car outside a railway station in west London. | |
Murder detectives believe the 26-year-old victim was injured in a fight near to West Ealing railway station and was then involved in a car crash on Drayton Green Road shortly before 01:20 GMT. | |
Police have also quashed rumours the man was killed in a "road rage" attack. | |
So far there have been no arrests as detectives continue to investigate the man's murder. | |
The victim's family is aware and a post-mortem examination will be held later. | |
Det Insp Neil John said: "We believe the victim was involved in an altercation 100m from the railway station on The Avenue. | |
"This is a busy street with a number of shops and restaurants and if anybody was in the area and saw something, no matter how small, I would urge them to contact police." | |
Ruth Holmstock, 72, whose flat overlooks the scene of the crash, said she heard a single "thump" in the early hours. | |
She described it as "the sort of noise you make when you reverse into a gate, but it was loud enough to make me go and see what it was." | |
"There were a lot of people hanging around. It looked like any other crash, like they were swapping insurance details," she added. | |
Kiran Ramachandraiah, who lives in the same block of flats, said he woke up at about 02:00 to see paramedics trying to revive the victim. | |
"I couldn't see the person," he said. "He was completely surrounded by police and paramedics." | |
The attack follows a fatal stabbing in Whitechapel on Saturday, in which another man in his 20s was killed. | |
Six men were arrested on the suspicion of murdering a 27-year-old at a flat party in Buckle Street. |
