This is a very close-knit community, and this is yet another stabbing on the streets of London. “People should not be carrying knives. A human life has been taken. “There are a lot of people working as delivery drivers, they must have better conditions of employment and employers must take more responsibility for their safety too. “Police cuts have meant fewer officers on the streets, and this raises issues of safety in the community in general.”  Fellow delivery riders gathered in Stroud Green Road near the scene said the man had been the victim of a road rage attack. Some of the riders said they had been repeatedly attacked in the neighbourhood by young gang members who are often still in their teens. Deliveroo and Uber driver Zakaria Gherabi, who knew the victim as “Taki”, said he had been attacked himself while at work. The 37-year-old added that he was punched in the eye and left with a dislocated socket in October last year. Mr Gherabi said: “My attackers are still on the streets. The police do nothing. “It happens. Nobody is going to save you. The company does not care, we are self-employed, but the food we are carrying is insured. “I knew the victim. He did not do anything, he was a good guy. He was stabbed to death on these busy streets. “The job is not safe. I don’t feel safe doing it.”  Another friend, who also said the victim was known as “Taki”, said: “He had been in this country for the last three years but he had been here before for some years before going to Algeria for a while. “He had family here, his father was here (at the scene) earlier.” The Metropolitan Police said no arrests have been made and inquiries continue in what is their first murder investigation of the year. A forensic tent has been erected while a police cordon is still in place. Detective Chief Inspector Neil John said: ”
