A suspect is being held after a man was stabbed to death in a London pub.

Police are questioning a 58-year-old man on suspicion of murder after an attack in Ealing.

The victim was found dead in the Star & Scorpion on Uxbridge Road, Ealing.

Officers were called out shortly before midnight on Saturday after receiving reports of violence.

A gravely injured male – also 58 – was found at the scene and nothing could be done to save him.

The high street boozer was transformed into a crime scene as detectives searched for clues after the incident.

Investigators confirmed a breakthrough in the case last night after an arrest was made.

A Met spokesperson said a suspect is now being detained in a West London police station.
