A murder investigation has begun after a man died after being stabbed in West Ealing this Sunday (24 November).

The victim, aged 26, was found injured by the emergency services at around 1.18am outside West Ealing train station on Drayton Green Road W13.

Despite the efforts of paramedics he was pronounced dead at the scene.

At this early stage, it is believed he was injured in an altercation nearby before his vehicle was involved in a collision with another car. A police cordon has been put up around a black mini lying across the road near the station entrance.

His next of kin have been informed.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, of the Met’s Homicide Team, said: “We believe the victim was involved in an altercation 100 metres 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.”
