A young man's life was tragically cut short in broad daylight near London's iconic Wembley Stadium.

The 22-year-old was fatally stabbed, and now police are hunting for the knife-wielding assailant who remains at large.

Emergency services rushed to the scene on High Road Wembley, practically spitting distance from the hallowed ground of English football, just before 1 PM.

Paramedics battled to save the victim, administering urgent treatment before whisking him away to a nearby hospital.

Sadly, despite the valiant efforts of the medical staff, the young man succumbed to his injuries.

His family has been notified and are currently being supported by specially trained officers during this devastating time.
