They found a 15-year-old boy having suffered “stab wounds” at the scene.
He was pronounced dead scene a short time later.
A manhunt was subsequently launched after the alleged attacker fled the area, but cops have now said an arrest was made later the same evening.
Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway, who leads policing in Hackney, said: “Tragically, a 15-year-old boy lost his life yesterday after he was stabbed in Stoke Newington.
“We have informed the boy’s family, who are understandably heartbroken, and specially trained officers are supporting them at this unimaginably difficult time.
“Last night our detectives worked around the clock to start to piece together what happened and as a result of these enquiries we have arrested a 15-year-old boy on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody for questioning.”
