One resident of St Mark's Close, Leon Harris, said: "Basically, I was just in the house and I heard this scream.

"I looked out and the guy was shouting and walking around.

"He came down the road just across from my house and I heard him shout “I’ve been stabbed, I’ve been stabbed.

"He was holding on to a bin and a girl came over to help him

"Then he said “I’ve got to lie down” and then fell to the floor

"It was really shocking, especially for this neighbourhood."

Another neighbour said: “I had just come home from work and was having a tea in the back garden.

"This is normally a really quiet street. You don’t expect to look out and see all those police.”
