		</div><p>Murder detectives are probing the death of a man in east London amid a rash of stabbings in the capital.</p>
<p>The victim, believed to have been in his 20s, was stabbed near Ilford Station on Tuesday night and died at the scene.</p>
<p>The man is thought to have been the fifth person to be stabbed in London on Tuesday – and the fourth in less than eight hours.</p>
<p>There have now been 17 homicides in London so far this year, six of which happened in nine days.</p>
<p>The Metropolitan Police said it was called to reports of a stabbing at Cranbrook Road in Ilford, east London, at 8.48pm.</p>
<p>The victim was pronounced dead at the scene about half an hour later.</p>
<p>Zamirullah Stanikzai, 21, who works in a phone shop close to where the attack took place, said he saw two men brandishing knives.</p>
<p>“I saw people running up and down the station when I went out,” he said.</p>

<p>Ilford South MP Mike Gapes tweeted that he was “shocked and saddened” by the killing.</p>
<p>The Met said a murder probe had been opened, while no arrests had yet been made.</p>
<p>Tuesday in the capital got off to a bloody start when a 25-year-old man was left critically injured in a stabbing in Enfield, north London.</p>
<p>Police were called to Green Street at 12.40am and the man was taken to hospital for treatment, while three men – aged 24, 26 and 27 – were arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder.</p>
<p>Officers responded to another incident in Enfield on Tuesday afternoon where a man in his 30s was stabbed in the thigh following an “altercation” on Parsonage Road at around 1.50pm.</p>
<p>The man was later discharged from hospital, while a man arrested at the scene on suspicion of grievous bodily harm was taken into custody.</p>
<p>A few hours later a male, reported to be a teenager, was stabbed at South Ruislip Underground in west London.</p>
