Police have revealed more details into the young boy who fell to his death from a block of flats in Hackney. The lad fell from the seventh floor of a thirteen story high building on Paragon Road around 4pm yesterday. Masked gang chased him
Police believe he was chased by a group of masked youths and climbed on the outside of the building to escape them. The boy scaled down six floors but a metal grille blocked his path on the seventh, he lost his balance and fell. Boy 'spooked'
It seems the victim and his friends were spooked when they spotted a gang of youths cycling towards the tower block and became separated. No arrests have been made. Investigating officer Det Ch Insp Ian Stevenson called it a tragic and unnecessary death.
