A tragic incident unfolded in Wembley, north London, as a homeless man, Milton Hurlington, 42, was allegedly fatally stabbed by a teenager shortly after being taken to a local park by police, aiming to prevent a potential altercation. The devastating events transpired on the evening of July 17, 2023.

According to the Old Bailey, officers had responded to calls involving Mr Hurlington twice earlier that day due to his confrontational behaviour towards a bus driver and at a Lidl supermarket. Subsequently, they decided to escort him to King Edward VII park in the hope of averting further conflicts.
