A murder investigation is under way following the death of a man who was attacked in a Dalston car park.
Mehmet De?erli, 49, of Stoke Newington, was found collapsed in a small residents’ car park off Sandringham Road at the junction with Cecilia Road at 1.09am on Wednesday.
Paramedics tried to save his life at the scene, but he was pronounced dead a short while later, Scotland Yard said.
Mr De?erli’s car which was parked in Sandringham Road had been damaged, and police have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
DCI Rob Pack, who is leading the investigation, said: “At this stage we believe Mr Der?erli to have been the victim of a violent assault - and need to hear from people who can help us piece together exactly what happened.
