A teenage boy has died in hospital after an "altercation" in south-east London, police say. A 17-year-old boy boy has died of head injuries following a fight after a party in south-east London.
Police and ambulance crews were called to an address in Ferndale, Bromley, at 09:30 BST on Sunday to reports of a 17-year-old who was unconscious. George Verrier was treated by officers who were called to an altercation involving about 20 people in Bromley in the early hours of Sunday.
A Met Police spokesman said it appeared the victim had "suffered a head injury" in the early hours. He did not want to be taken to hospital but he was found unconscious several hours later at an address in nearby Ferndale and died in hospital.
A 17-year-old male has been arrested in connection with the death and remains in police custody. A 17-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
The victim, who has not yet been named, died shortly after 18:00 BST, police said. 'Very sorry'
The death is being investigated by officers from the Met's Homicide and Serious Crime Command. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "At this early stage it appears the victim suffered a head injury as a result of the altercation.
The force said a post-mortem examination would be scheduled "in due course". Next of kin have been informed. "Inquiries continue to establish the full circumstances of the incident."
George, a trainee electrician, was injured in Southborough Road at about 00:45 BST, while on his way home from the party in adjacent Blenheim Road.
Police were called at about 09:30 BST to a home in Ferndale - about a mile away - after he fell unconscious.
He was taken by air ambulance to hospital where he died at about 18:00 BST.
He was due to have his first driving lesson on Tuesday.
Cornelius Moran whose 16-year-old daughter was having the party said: "He was a good friend of my daughter's. A lovely boy from what she tells me.
"My thoughts are with the family."
'Well-organised party'
A woman who lives near to where the party was, but who did not wish to be named, said: "I was very sorry to hear about the poor boy and my heart goes out to his family who have lost their child.
"It looked like a very well-organised party - it was noisy, that's all. The family who had the party are such a nice family."
Another neighbour said some partygoers had been turned away from the house.
He said: "We were very much aware of the noise. That stopped at about 12.30am when the music stopped.
"My wife was looking out of the window and she could see three large adults leading a group of youngsters up the road, turning them away from the party."
