An eyewitness said the fatally injured victim was attacked by a gang before his killer ran off to the Tube station.

His family have not yet been informed of his death and the second man is said to be in a stable condition, a Met spokesman said, as he issued an appeal for witnesses.

The scene has been cordoned off and the High Street has been closed to traffic.

A section 60 order, giving police additional stop and search powers, has been authorised for the London Borough of Camden until 14:30 on Friday.

Chief Supt Raj Kohli, from Camden Police, said: "We are taking action across the borough to keep everyone safe."

He added: "I understand that a number of people believed to be known to the victim were present after the attack.

"I would urge them to come forward and speak to investigators as soon as possible with what they know and saw."
