Police have detained a guy whose “worker” was fatally stabbed on Monday at a Korean restaurant off Oxford Street in London’s West End.
To the astonishment of onlookers, armed police and emergency personnel arrived at the Arirang Restaurant on Poland Street in Soho just before noon and discovered a guy with knife wounds.
The air ambulance and the London Ambulance Service both responded, however the person passed away at the site 40 minutes later.
A 50-year-old guy was detained outside the eatery on murder suspicion.
According to police sources, both the murder victim and the perpetrator of the Poland Street slaying were employed at the Arirang Korean eatery.
When a lady arrived to the Korean eatery, which debuted in 1975 and claims to be the first in the UK, she was observed sobbing and knelt on the ground.
Workers on Poland Street, the location of the assault, said they think two cooks got into a fight.
When asked whether the victim and his assailant were coworkers, the police said that they were unable to corroborate this.
Another witness reported: “I noticed two guys fighting outside the Korean restaurant. They were yelling at one another in earnest.
Although I couldn’t hear them speak, they seemed to be Korean. After that, they both entered.
‘I simply walked out and saw a guy on the floor and the cops were handcuffing someone else,’ claimed a man who exited the neighbouring Brewdog bar while wearing the establishment’s uniform.
“Then they covered him with one of those sacks.”
Another Brewdog employee stated: “We didn’t see anything until the cops showed here with firearms and barricaded the street, along with ambulances.”

In Walthamstow, east London, on Saturday, a 25-year-old man was shot and killed as “all hell broke loose” outside a baby’s first birthday celebration.
Before the shooting, a neighbour by the first name of Terry noticed a fight breaking out on the street.
I feel nervous when individuals do that, racing up past the window of my apartment, the man added. “I was in my flat and I saw someone with a hoodie go through the gate outside between the tree and the fence,” he said.
Anyway, the next thing I hear is crack crack crack, and I immediately assumed that someone was playing a joke by setting off firecrackers. The 20 minutes before, there had been an altercation on the street.
I overheard yelling and foul language, but I’m not sure what was said. All hell broke loose when I heard gunfire sounds that didn’t sound like gunshots at first.
