A man has been stabbed to death following reports of a “disturbance” at a shopping centre in east London, police said.

Officers were called to the Stratford Centre at 9.30pm on Tuesday and found a man suffering from stab injuries.

London ambulance service attended but the man, believed to be in his early 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene at 10.30pm.

Eight people have died in stabbings or shootings in the capital this month, including two men who were knifed to death in London on Monday night. A man in his 40s was killed in Walthamstow, while a second man died after coming to a west London hospital with stab injuries.

Next of kin have not been informed and no arrests have been made, the Metropolitan police said.

“Formal identification awaits and a postmortem examination will be held in due course,” they added.

The homicide and major crime command has been informed of the death and inquiries are ongoing.
