Two men have been arrested after a man was stabbed to death in a luxury London skyscraper.
A 32-year-old man was found by police offers with several knife injuries as officers rushed to the scene in the early hours of Saturday morning.
He died shortly after despite the efforts of the medical staff from the London Ambulance Service.
The Met Police have launched a murder investigation.
Two men, 35 and 33, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder following reports of an altercation.
The victim collapsed inside DAMAC Tower, in Vauxhall, according to The Standard.
The 50-storey building is next to the US embassy, which is part of the Nine Elms development, and is in lockdown as police continue their investigation.
Management informed residents that the lifts were unable for use, as reported by GB News, as one resident said deliveries had been blocked and people were told to use the emergency stairs.
A spokesperson for the Met said the victim's next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported.
Detective Inspector Aytac Necati who is leading the investigation said:
'Sadly, a man has lost his life in the most horrendous of circumstances. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
'We understand the effect this will have on the local community, and will ensure that officers are deployed on reassurance patrols to respond to any questions or concerns.
'Two men have already been arrested. Detectives are working hard to establish the circumstances of what happened.
'At this time, we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident.'
A note to residents sent by the managers of the skyscraper said: 'The police are presently on the premises, diligently managing the situation.
'We would like to assure you that the building is secure, and there is no cause for concern with your safety.
'As a precautionary measure, the police have requested that the elevators be temporarily unavailable while they conduct their investigation.'
