Detectives investigating the 1984 murder of a man in an alleyway have made a second arrest. 

Anthony Littler, 45, was killed after he left East Finchley Tube Station just after midnight on May 1, 1984. 

He was found with significant head injuries in what was then an alleyway close to East End Road, behind the station.

Officers believe Anthony was murdered in a random attack but no one has ever been charged.

Both men have been bailed to a date in January.

Detectives continue to appeal for information.
