The youth, believed to be 16-years-old, was attacked on Farleigh Road, Stoke Newington, North London at around 11pm on Saturday night. He was taken to hospital but died overnight. A second teenager was seriously injured in the fight, but his injuries are not life-threatening.

Fourteen people have been arrested in connection with the murder and disturbance.

One female and 13 male youths, aged between 13 and 19, have been taken to north and east London police stations where they remain in custody.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the 16-year-old male youth was taken to the Royal London Hospital suffering from a stab wound. He was pronounced dead at 12.19am.

Police believe they know the identity of the victim and next of kin are being informed.

A post-mortem examination is due to take place at Poplar Mortuary.

Another 15-year-old male was taken to an east London hospital, where his condition is described as stable.

Detective Chief Inspector Matt Horne, who is leading the investigation, said: "A birthday party was being held in the community centre in Shacklewell Road, close to where the disturbance and fatal stabbing took place.

"I am appealing for anyone who attended the party or anyone who witnessed the disturbance in Farleigh Road to contact police. Anyone with information will be treated with the strictest of confidence."
