A second man, in his mid-twenties, was also found suffering from a stab wound.

He was rushed to hospital and his condition was not immediately clear.

A witness said he thought there had been a car crash but then saw a group of men fleeing.

The 33-year-old said: “I tried to help but it was a lost cause. It was horrific.”

No arrests have been made.

Chief Superintendent Raj Kohli, from Camden, said: “I understand a number of people believed to be known to the victim were present after the attack.

"I would urge them to come forward.”

The high street remained partially closed into the night and a forensic tent was erected at the scene.

Police stop and search powers were ramped up as a Section 60 order was put in place for the borough.

Anyone with information is asked to call police via 101 quoting reference Cad 8865/12Sep. Alternatively, they can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
