<p>The Metropolitan Police said the victim was found with stab wounds in Elmton Court, Cunningham Place, Westminster, at about 6.15pm on Thursday.</p>
<p>He was treated at the scene with help from London Ambulance Service paramedics but later died in hospital, the force said.</p>
<p>A Met Police spokeswoman confirmed the incident is linked to a raid at a nearby mosque.</p>
<p><em>“We do have officers searching the area for the suspects,”</em> she said.</p>
<p>Witnesses have also claimed they saw two men being detained in handcuffs but the Met said no arrests have been made and officers continue to hunt the suspects.</p>
<p>The force tweeted that the attack was not terror-related.</p>
<p>It said: <em>“Officers continue to deal with a stabbing at Cunningham Place/Park Road, Westminster. We can confirm that this incident is not terror related. Searches for suspects are ongoing.”</em></p>
<p>Video from outside the mosque shared on social media showed armed police at the gates to the London Central Mosque, near Regent’s Park, as a helicopter circled overhead.</p>
<p>Witness Bahir Moulana told the Press Association that as he was walking towards the mosque, the police were pushing people back before they closed the main gate.</p>
<p>With a number of armed officers at the scene, the 39-year-old said it gave him the “jitters”, especially following the recent attack at two mosques in New Zealand.</p>
<p><em>“I saw all the blue lights and my heart was in my mouth,”</em> Mr Moulana said.</p>
<p>With worshippers eventually let out of the building, he added: “There was one girl who said she saw two guys run in. Someone else told me the police were chasing them.”</p>
<p>Mr Moulana said he saw two people being detained and put in handcuffs by police at the mosque.</p>
<p><em>“The police just surrounded them. I saw that at around 7pm,”</em> he added.</p>
<p>A police cordon was in place at the mosque following the incident, with officers flanking parts of the building’s perimeter, as a helicopter methodically circled overhead.</p>
<p>A section of the A41 Park Road was also closed off by police.</p>
<p>At the scene in Cunningham Place, a large collection of used and discarded medical equipment, bloodied bandages, bags, and other items could be seen in the middle of the road.</p>
<p>One neighbour, who did not want to be named, told the Press Association: <em>“I looked out of the window at around 6.30pm and I saw him on the floor… he was already getting CPR.”</em></p>
<p>She added that before the incident she heard someone saying <em>“What happened? What have you done?”</em> before she then went to see what was going on.</p>
<p>The Labour MP for Westminster North, Karen Buck, said on Twitter: <em>“Deeply saddened to hear this awful news. Police have been in contact with me and we await further details.”</em></p>
