Haruun Hassan, 22, was stabbed on a night bus near Heathrow airport and staggered towards a 24-hour McDonald's seeking help, but collapsed and died from his wounds on the A4. Police were called shortly after midnight on Monday, cordoning off the A4 between Great South West Road and the Parkway. A neighbour told Metro: "Police were talking to the bus driver. The trouble started on the bus; whether he was stabbed there or outside, I don't know. He was heading towards the lights of the 24-hour McDonald's to get help, but he didn't make it." Forensics officers scoured the scene while detectives conducted door-to-door inquiries and reviewed CCTV footage, including footage from the night bus. Another witness said: "I went outside my house and there were police everywhere. There was a lad lying on the ground, it looked like he just got off the bus. The paramedics were trying to save him – it looked bad. Our hearts go out to the family." The witness added that the bus was towed away and the driver looked in shock. The A4 westbound carriageway remained closed for a full day, causing rush hour tailbacks. Detective Chief Inspector Paul Waller, leading the investigation, said: "Our officers responded quickly with the London Ambulance Service and did everything possible to help the victim. Our thoughts remain with his family and friends. This is a fast-paced investigation, and enquiries are ongoing. Patrols from the local Neighbourhood Policing Team have been increased in the area, and anyone with any concerns is asked to speak to officers." He appealed for any information, no matter how minor, and urged anyone with CCTV, doorbell or mobile phone footage to come forward. Separately, a teenager who killed a mother-of-three by running her over with a car has been jailed for 17 years.
