Dagenham teen killed and another injured after deadly brawl at takeaway
Two teenagers were reportedly stabbed after fight outside fast food shop - and one later died in hospital
A TEENAGER was stabbed to death and another remains in hospital after a brawl outside a takeaway last night.
Cops rushed to reports of a fight outside the fast food shop at around 6.20pm in Church Elm Lane, Dagenham.
A 16-year-old boy was found with stab wounds and given first aid by police officers.
Minutes later police were called by paramedics to nearby Whyhill Walk where they found a 17-year-old who also suffered knife wounds.
The slightly older victim was taken to an east London hospital but pronounced dead in the early hours of this morning.
The 16-year-old boy is currently in a stable condition.
A police cordon remains in place around the area of Church Elm Lane as detectives from the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Command unit investigate.
Resident Sidney McCallaghan said a huge swathe of the road had been cordoned off while police investigated.
He told : "There was a scuffle between some young boys and then they just started stabbing each other."
He said one of the boys was "severely hurt" and collapsed outside the pub.
"We don’t know if he was followed and was attacked as he walked, but it looks like he was trying to get away quite quickly," he added.
Police are trying to discover if both teenagers were stabbed in the same incident.
No one has been arrested over the stabbings so far said Scotland Yard.
Anyone who has information is asked to contact police via 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
