The deputy mayor of London has labelled Sunday's stabbing in Edmonton as a ‘catastrophe’.

Stephen Greenhalgh, who will be in Enfield this evening to discuss the Metropolitan Police’s crime plan in the borough, has stated that the force must target knife crime in Edmonton following the latest death.

A man, believed to be in his 20s, died after brawl in Haselbury Road, Edmonton, in which he was fatally stabbed in the early hours of Sunday, November 30.

Four teenagers have been arrested in connection with the incident and have been remanded in custody.

Mr Greenhalgh, who will speak with residents at the MOPAC event at the Civic Centre, in Silver Street, condemned the actions that took place yesterday.

He told the Enfield Independent: “Any loss of life is a catastrophe and it is vitally important that we target violence in Edmonton because it is an area with high crime of violence.

“It is pivotal for us to be able to have a specific plan for Edmonton and indeed Enfield because knife crime is up and I have discovered that there is no one size fits all policy for London and each borough needs its own plan.”

The deputy mayor for crime and policing was positive that there has been an increase in police on the street in Enfield.

He said: “There has been an increase since 2011 where we had 61 police on the street and our target for the start of 2015 is 144 and we currently have 142 which is good news.”

The meeting will start at 6.30pm and Mr Greenhalgh is encouraging all residents to have their say on policing in the borough.
