Onlookers described ambulances racing to the scene and paramedics performing CPR on the schoolboy but, despite their efforts, he could not be saved.
Speaking on Monday evening, Harry’s older sister Tayla, 19, told the MailOnline of her family’s heartbreak, adding that her brother could be “mischievous and cheeky” but he “didn’t have a bad bone in his body” and “always stood up for what was right”.
She said: “It doesn’t seem real, I keep on expecting him to come through the front door. His dinner is still in the oven, mum can’t bring herself to remove it.”
“I’m devastated, he was my baby brother,” Tayla said, adding: “I hope whoever has done this knows they haven’t just taken a life, they’ve destroyed a whole family and community.”
Harry’s older brother Patrick, 18, said his brother was a huge Tottenham Hotspur fan and had gone to Primrose Hill with seven of his friends. He said: “We are all distraught, it just doesn’t seem real.”
The Metropolitan police said officers were called to the scene at 11.40pm, where the teenager was pronounced dead after paramedics tried to resuscitate him. A 16-year-old boy was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder and remains in custody at a north London police station, the force added.
