Unbelievable that a 15 year old is dead over what was probably 2 beat up BMXs.

News stories like this really drive me to despair.
 
It is understood Alan had been cycling north on Caledonian Road when his friends were approached by three men walking in the opposite direction, close to the junction with Copenhagen Street, Scotland Yard said.

Alan was stabbed once and two bikes were stolen from the group before the suspects fled from the scene travelling south down Caledonian Road, the force added.

The teenager was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics from London Ambulance Service.

Det Ch Insp Chris Jones said: "Caledonian Road would have been very busy at the time of the incident and I would appeal to anyone who witnessed this attack, or may have any information as to who is responsible, to come forward and speak to police."

Police have released CCTV footage of the moment a 15-year-old boy was fatally stabbed while cycling in a north London street.

Alan Cartwright was attacked near Copenhagen Street, in Islington, last Friday, while out with two friends.

He managed to cycle away but collapsed on nearby Caledonian Road and was pronounced dead at the scene.

His mother said the footage looks like he got punched, yet two minutes later he collapsed and died.
