A suspected attacker was chased down and restrained by members of the public following a fatal stabbing near a north London football club.

The Metropolitan Police said they were called to Houndsfield Road in Edmonton at 8.10pm on Saturday to reports of a stabbing.

The London Ambulance Service also attended, but the 29-year-old man who had been stabbed died at the scene shortly after 9pm.

Scotland Yard said the attack happened near to the Old Edmontonians FC clubhouse, which was hosting a party at the time.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Considine appealed for witnesses, saying: “Lots of people were out and about.

“Members of the public pursued and detained a male suspect following this attack in a nearby field.

“He was subsequently arrested by police.

“I need all those present to call police with information about what they saw take place.”

Police said the attack is not thought to be connected to the event or the football club.
