Primrose Hill: Joint Statement from The Royal Parks and The Metropolitan Police

“Following the tragic stabbing that took place on Primrose Hill on New Year’s Eve, we want to reassure the local community and park visitors that the safety of everyone who visits the park is paramount. Whilst there is no police intelligence to suggest the park is likely to see a repeat of what happened, and significant arrests have been made, we do understand how distressing this situation is for local residents and visitors.  There is currently a heightened police presence and additional patrols in and around the park, and if you have any information relating to the incident, please call the investigation team on 020 8785 8099. You can also share information online here or speak to the local police officers who will be on enhanced patrols in the area over the coming days.

“We are all deeply saddened by this senseless murder, and The Royal Parks and the police are committed to working closely together to ensure ongoing safety.”
