Jack Hague died at the scene of the attack, police said
A 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 38-year-old man was stabbed in a residential street in east London on Sunday.
The victim has been named as Jack Hague, the Metropolitan Police said.
The suspect was taken into custody after he voluntarily walked into a police station.
A murder investigation was launched after police were called at about 20:20 BST to reports of a fight on Corfield Street in Bethnal Green, Tower Hamlets.
Officers attended and found a man with a stab injury.
Despite the efforts of officers and paramedics, Mr Hague died at the scene.
Police say his family continue to be supported by specially trained officers, and a post-mortem examination will take place in due course.

Supt Alex Ogilvie, from the Met Police, said earlier this week: "I recognise the impact this violent incident will have on the local community, especially as it happened in a residential street while many people would have been in their homes."
He urged anyone with information to come forward.
