It was gathered that his teenage son desperately tried to intervene as he was being stabbed.
An eyewitness revealed that emergency services arrived the scene on time but despite their efforts, Fadayomi did not survive the attack.
According to MyLondon, Met Police DCI Claire Hine, said, “Foremost in our thoughts are the victim and his family, who are coming to terms with his very sudden and violent loss. My specialist officers are providing them with support at this very sad time.
“At this early stage in our investigation, we believe the incident started on a Route 260 bus. It continued out onto the High Road and into a fast food shop in front of a number of horrified onlookers in the street, and on the bus.”
Hine further disclosed that they had spoken to a number of people who had told them what they saw, but said there were others who had yet to make contact.
“I would ask those witnesses to call us, so that we can fully establish the chain of events that has led to a man losing his life in such a horrific way,” Hine added.
Fadayomi worked for the Department of Work and Pensions and also a coach at AFC Wembley.
