A 22-year-old man who was stabbed on a night bus near Heathrow Airport staggered towards a 24-hour McDonald’s to seek help, but collapsed and died from his wounds on the A4. Haruun Hassan was attacked shortly after midnight on Monday, and police were called to the scene between Great South West Road and the Parkway, which was cordoned off. A neighbour told Metro: '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.' Another witness said: '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 A4 westbound carriageway was closed for a whole day, causing rush hour tailbacks, as forensics officers scoured the scene and detectives carried out door-to-door inquiries and trawled through CCTV footage, including footage from the night bus. DCI 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.' Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. In a separate case, a teenager who fatally ran over a mother-of-three with a car has been jailed for 17 years.
