Murder probe as teen, 18, found stabbed to death outside Finchley supermarket

A teenager collapsed outside a high street supermarket after being fatally wounded in a horror knife attack in Finchley.

The victim, aged 18, was stabbed in Regents Park Road, near the junction with Lichfield Grove but managed to flee to a Sainsbury’s supermarket after being attacked at 9.40pm on Monday.

Footage of the scene shows supermarket workers coming out to tend to the “seriously injured” victim before paramedics arrived.

Despite the efforts of paramedics he was pronounced dead at the scene.

There have been no arrests at this time.

DCI Neil Rawlinson, investigating, said: “We believe the man suffered his injuries on Regents Park Road, near the junction with Lichfield Grove and has then run over the road to the supermarket.

“Anyone who was in the area between 9 -10pm on August 7, who may have seen something that could help our investigation is asked to contact police.

“Another young man has died as a result of violence and we need the public’s help to identify the individual or people responsible.”

Acting Cmdr Will Lexton-Jones, responsible for policing in Barnet, said: “I am deeply saddened by the death of this young man in Barnet and my thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

“The public in the Regents Park Road area will see an increased police presence in the area as investigations are carried out to help solve this crime.”
