A man has died after being stabbed in a street in Wealdstone.

Police have launched a murder investigation after the 34-year-old was stabbed in High Street, near the junctions with George Grange Way and Gordon Road, at around 6.50pm yesterday.

The victim was taken to a central London hospital in critical condition but died at 2.30am this morning.

Officers believe they know who the victim is, but are awaiting formal identification.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Lawson, who is leading the investigation, said: "We believe the area at the time of the stabbing, just before 6.50pm in the evening, would have been very busy with people coming from nearby Harrow and Wealdstone station.

"We are very keen to hear from anyone who was in and around the Wealdstone High Street area that may have seen or heard anything suspicious, especially from anyone who saw people running towards the station."

Detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command are investigating and a post-mortem will be scheduled.
