A 17-year-old has been rearrested as part of an investigation into the fatal stabbing of a man in Islington.
Officers were called at 8pm on Monday, September 14 to North Road to reports a man had been stabbed.
Despite the best efforts of paramedics on the scene, 18-year-old Kamal Nuur was pronounced dead.
Police believe Kamal was chased and attacked in Goodinge Close by two male suspects, who then fled in the direction of York Way.
CCTV shows two people in North Road at 7.58pm cycling quickly to York Way and Brecknock Road, heading towards Leighton Road, where they get off the bikes and run.
Detectives re-arrested a 17-year-old yesterday (November 19) on suspicion of murder at an address in Croydon as they continue to appeal for witnesses.
He was taken to a north London police station before being released on bail to early January.
