Police in the City of London are looking for a knife today after a man was stabbed to death near St. Paul’s Cathedral last night.

The victim was taken by paramedics at the scene of the accident in the center of the capital last night, after he was found seriously injured shortly before midnight.

He was taken by ambulance to Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, but died of his injuries, and detectives are now trying to find out what happened.

Police cordoned off the intersection of St Martin’s Le Grand and Gresham Street and also stuck a car in front of Lord Raglan Pub.

Forensic teams are searching the area for clues this morning, and City of London police have confirmed they are investigating, but no arrests have been made.

Assistant Commissioner Pete O’Doherty said: “London police were called in to signal the stabbing of Gresham Street, EC2V, at 11.30pm on 1 May.

“Officers found a man suffering serious injuries and performed cardiac resuscitation at the scene before being taken to Royal London Hospital, where he later sadly died. Investigations are ongoing and no arrests have been made so far. “

The age of the victim is unknown. A spokesman for the London ambulance said: “We were called at 11.27pm on 1 May to report an incident on Gresham Street, EC2.

“We sent an ambulance, a medic in a response car, an incident response officer and an advanced paramedic.

“We healed a man at the scene and took him to a London trauma center, but unfortunately he died.”

The attack came less than 24 hours after a 30-year-old man was stabbed in Greenwich and police were called to the scene at 2.15pm yesterday.

The man was taken to hospital after being stabbed in south-east London, but died shortly afterwards, and British transport police are investigating. No arrests have been made.
