Tottenham later released a statement about the incident on Twitter.
Following an incident in which an individual has lost their life, we are doing everything to accommodate the ongoing Police investigation, which is of the utmost importance.
As things stand, this afternoon's Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest will go-ahead as scheduled, however the north end of Worcester Avenue and the whole of Northumberland Park Road will remain closed throughout.
We shall update supporters as and when we can, and ask for fans to be patient and allow extra travel time.
Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and all those affected.
A full investigation has now been launched, but no arrests have been made at this stage.
