A MAN has been reportedly stabbed and doused with acid after a dad was knifed to death in North London.
The victim, in his 20s, was attacked in Walthamstow last night and is being treated in hospital for his injuries.
BLOOD ON THE STREETS
A probe has been launched into the savage assault which took place at around 10.40pm.
He was targeted just a few miles from the scene of the brutal killing of a man, 24, in Hendon, North West London, on Saturday night.
The victim was stabbed to death just 15 minutes after leaving his newborn baby and girlfriend at home.
He was making his way to work when he was attacked.
He was found with stab injuries inside a silver VW Polo after it collided with a parked car at 9pm.
The man, from Edgware, North London, was rushed to hospital but died later that evening.
A post-mortem examination and formal identification will be arranged in due course.
Cops have launched a murder investigation – at least the 17th in London this year – and no arrests have been made.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Partridge, who is leading the investigation, said: “We believe the victim was parked up in the silver VW Polo in the car park in Stratford Road, off Bell Lane, NW4, minutes before the collision took place in Parson Street.
"We believe he was attacked in the car park.
"It is likely that a number of witnesses in the Belle Vue Estate may have witnessed the attack.
"I am appealing for anyone who saw the incident, or who knows anything about what happened, to make contact with my officers, all calls will be treated in the strictest confidence.
"The victim was arriving at the car park, in order to travel to work for a night shift. He had just left his girlfriend and newborn baby at home in Edgware 15 minutes earlier."
On Sunday, a 16-year-old boy was stabbed just two miles away in Childs Hill, North London.
The teenager was found with stab injuries and is in a non life-threatening condition in hospital.
