Man killed in car row

A jaywalking man has been murdered after a confrontation with a car passenger.

The 22-year-old victim had been walking between cars when he became involved in a row with a passenger in one of them. The attacker got out of the car to confront the pedestrian, then launched an assault.

One witness said he was armed with a baseball bat. After the attack the man returned to his car, which drove off. It happened at 7.47pm on Friday in Tottenham High Road, near the junction with Lansdowne Road.

The victim, who has not yet been named by police but is believed to live nearby, was confirmed dead soon after arrival at North Middlesex Hospital. A post mortem failed to establish a formal cause of death and the police are waiting for results of further toxicology tests.

Witnesses described the pedestrian as "interfering" with a number of cars before the incident.

A man and a woman, both 29, surrendered to police and were arrested in connection with the investigation. Both have been bailed to return to police next month. Anyone with information should call 020 8808 1212.
