Police said the teenager, who lived in the area, was involved in an argument with a youth who then attacked him.

London Ambulance Service were also called to the incident but the youngster died at the scene.

Det Ch Insp Cliff Lyons, from the Metropolitan Police, said: "This is another tragic incident where a young victim has lost his life, and our sympathies are with his family and friends.

"At this early stage it is understood that Jimmy was working in the Three Cooks Bakery when the suspect entered the premises.

"There was an argument between Jimmy and the suspect, following which Jimmy was assaulted and he sustained serious neck injuries.

"The suspect, described as a male youth, made off from the scene up Burnt Ash Hill towards Burnt Ash Lane.

"I would urge anyone who was in and around the Burnt Ash Hill area at the time of the incident to call us at our incident room with any information they may have."
