The 18-year-old victim is thought to have been riding a moped when he hit a parked car after being attacked, reports Olivia Opara

An investigation has been launched following the death of a man in South Tottenham.

On Monday (3rd July), police officers were called at 5pm to Constable Crescent to reports of an injured 18-year-old.

Officers responded with London Ambulance Service but despite the efforts of emergency services the 18-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene at 5.28pm.

The 18-year-old’s next of kin are aware and it is believed, at this very earlier stage by police, that he may have been riding a moped and collided with a parked car, after being attacked.

Officers are working to confirm the nature of the victim’s injuries and establish where the initial incident took place.

No arrests have been made at this time and a crime scene is in place and enquiries are ongoing.

Police ask any witnesses or those with material that could assist them to call 101 ref CAD 5678/3 Jul.

To remain 100% anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
