A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 43-year-old man was fatally assaulted in west London on Monday night.
Police and the London Ambulance Service attended the scene on Dawley Avenue in Uxbridge before the victim was rushed to hospital, where he later died.
His family has been informed but formal identification has yet to take place, with a post-mortem examination due to be held later this week, Scotland Yard said.
An 18-year-old man was arrested in Derbyshire on Tuesday where he remains in police custody, the force said.
He will be transferred to a London police station.

‘I know this will be concerning to local residents, however I want to reassure them and the man’s family that we are working around the clock to establish what has happened.
‘Our investigation is in its early stages and I am keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed anything out of the ordinary. Please get in touch with police or Crimestoppers.’
