A teenager stabbed a man to death with a sword in a row over a motorbike.

Sanchez Tate was carrying a sword with a 43.5cm blade when he got into an argument with Mohamed Abdi Noor after Mohamed's parked motorbike was knocked over in Tufnell Park Road, Islington.

The row escalated, resulting in Tate, 18, stabbing the 21-year-old.

Emergency services were called to Tufnell Park Road at 7.27pm.

The Metropolitan Police and London Ambulance Service found 21-year-old Mohamed with stab wounds.

He was taken by ambulance to hospital, where he died in the early hours of December 12.

A murder investigation was launched and Tate was arrested on December 11 at his home address, near the murder scene and Mohamed’s home.

Following Mohamed's death he was charged with murder.

Sanchez Tate, who was 17 at the time, was found guilty of murdering of Mohamed Abdi Noor on Tuesday (October 1) following a trial at the Old Bailey.

Detective Chief Inspector Larry Smith, who led the investigation, said: “The dispute started as a verbal argument between the defendant and Mohamed after Mohamed had found his motorbike had been knocked over while left parked-up near his home.

“This escalated tragically to physical violence, and was further accelerated by the fact that Sanchez Tate was carrying a sword with a 43.5cm long blade and made the terrible choice to use it.

“The decision to carry a weapon can, as this case shows, be life changing.

“My thoughts are with Mohamed’s family and those who knew him, who have lost a dearly loved family member and friend.

“I am also mindful that there are no winners in this case and Tate, who was 17 years of age at the time, will have a good deal of time in prison to reflect on the callous stupidity of his actions.

“The investigation team would like to thank the witnesses to this shocking incident, who stepped in to try to stop it.

"They also alerted emergency services, assisted with first aid, made statements to police and gave crucial evidence at the trial.”

Tate will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on November 21.
