Murdered by a 'Rolex ripper' outside famous restaurant in broad daylight: Masked mugger fatally stabs man who 'tried to fight back' outside five-star hotel in Knightsbridge
A masked mugger attempted to snatch a pedestrian's gold watch before stabbing him to death in front of his partner outside a high-end London casino when he fought back, witnesses told MailOnline today.
The murder victim, 24, died in broad daylight outside the £1,650-a-night 5-star Park Tower Hotel and Casino, which is directly across the road from the Harvey Nichols department store in Knightsbridge.
The stabbing took place at around 9.30pm last night in Seville Street, which is also close to Harrods, a host of luxury stores and Hyde Park. The Park Tower Hotel and Casino is also next door to Nusr-Et, the steakhouse run by celebrity chef Salt Bae.
Police are hunting for the killer but have not made any arrests.
Witnesses believe the tragedy was related to an attempted watch theft and the murder came hours after London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan promised a police blitz on crime in the capital, including knife crime.
A worker at a luxury hotel near the murder scene said: 'I was working there last night. My secretary told me a masked man tried to rob his watch. It was a couple. But the guy pulled out his hand and he took out his knife and stabbed him.
'The couple were walking along the pavement and he tried to fight back but the guy took the knife and stabbed him in the chest.
'The police chased the guy but I don't think they caught him. I saw a little bit of the CCTV. I saw the man lying out on the pavement, a woman was supporting him and crying. There was a lot of blood. He was wearing a white or cream coloured t-shirt. He was unconscious. '
The worker said they believed the attacker was on an e-scooter but an American tourist said they thought the killer was on a bike and that they had been warned by friends not to wear any expensive jewellery while walking in London.
