Detective Inspector Kevin Martin, Specialist Crime, said: "This awful attack took place in broad daylight, in front of people simply going about their business.

"I don't underestimate the impact such a horrific incident will have had on anyone who saw it.

“We have heard from a number of people but I am asking anyone who witnessed it to speak to us, in confidence, about what they saw.

"An arrest has been made and we are making significant progress, but we can never have too much information. Our work to establish a motive is ongoing.

“Any information, however small, may assist the investigation and allow those responsible to be held to account.

"I am also fully aware that there are a number of videos circulating following the incident, including of the crime scene.

“I know that these videos are causing enormous distress for the loved ones of the victim, and I would ask people to respect them by not circulating this upsetting footage."

Superintendent Gabriel Cameron, Central South Command Unit, said: "Our thoughts are with the victim's family, who have suffered such a terrible loss. A young man has lost his life on our streets and the sense of shock is felt across the community.

"Our colleagues in Specialist Crime are investigating, and we will do everything we can to support them. Enhanced patrols will be seen in the area, and people are encouraged to speak to those officers to share information with them."
