This is the first picture of a teenager who was stabbed and then run over in Stoke Newington.

Michael McCarthy, 19, who is thought to be a father, was attacked in Stoke Newington Church Street near his home. Friends say he had warned that a gang was "after him".

Police found him fatally injured at about 11pm on Thursday. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A silver Fiat Punto thought to have been used in the attack was later found in Welwyn Garden City, Hertforshire. Mr McCarthy was the 12th teenager to be violently killed in London this year and the ninth to be fatally stabbed.

Two men were charged with his murder last night. Julian Edwards and Mustafa Demirtas, both 20 and from north London, were due at Thames magistrates' court today.
