Following yet another night of violence in the city, blood has been left splattered on a white Mercedes within the cordon around a double stabbing in London. A guy is now left struggling for his life.
After being discovered with stab wounds near East Ferry Road on the Isle of Dogs at around 10.45 yesterday night, a 23-year-old male is now in critical condition.
While on the site, authorities found a second guy, also in his 20s, suffering from stab wounds in neighbouring Limeharbour.
He was also taken to the hospital in a hurry, although his condition hasn’t been made public yet.
As they investigate the stabbings, police have set up cordons at Limeharbour and East Ferry Road. There have not yet been any arrests.
Images from one of the cordons show a blood-stained Mercedes parked on the side of the road, along with trash lying about on the sidewalk, a first aid kit, and some used latex gloves.
Police were summoned at 10.45 p.m. on Sunday to East Ferry Road following allegations of a stabbing, according to a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman. In response, police used LAS.
A 23-year-old male was discovered with stab wounds and was rushed to the hospital; his condition is still life threatening.
“While at the scene, authorities discovered a second guy on Limeharbour who had been stabbed.” He was also brought to the hospital, and we are awaiting word on his health.
“A crime scene still exists, and investigations are underway.” Zero arrests. Anyone with information is urged to phone the police at (101); please mention case number 7721/28Aug.
It happens in the midst of a horrifying month of violence in London that saw six alleged homicides in just four days.
On August 16, Thomas O’Halloran, 87, was brutally stabbed in Greenford, west London, while using a mobility scooter.
The grandpa rode his scooter 75 yards to Runnymede and waved down a passerby for assistance, but he was helpless.
Several horrific occurrences involving armed robbers have occurred recently.
A man and woman were robbed at knifepoint while strolling through an upscale London district last week, as shown on surveillance footage.
The female victim was shown on camera on Monday kicking her legs while lying in a doorway in Pond Place, Chelsea, while the assailant, who was wearing a black mask and sweatshirt, stood over her.
As a second assailant, also wearing a black hoodie, mercilessly hits her male companion from a few yards away, her cries echo down the street.
A bold robber posing as a Deliveroo driver on August 21 tried to steal a Kuwaiti playboy’s Rolex by smashing a £3 million Bugatti Chiron with a hammer as it travelled through the city. That terrible event occurred only hours after that audacious theft.
After demand rises on Mayor Sadiq Khan to properly combat the plague of knife crime, which has increased over the last year as the UK entered the Covid epidemic, a scuffle in south London on August 20 saw at least four people stabbed.
The robbers are seen switching victims as they continue to abuse and steal them in the 35-second video, which was captured on Monday and posted on Twitter. The woman’s watch is said to have been their primary goal.
Following the terrible robbery in Chelsea, TV personality Shabs Ahmad, who participated in the BBC’s smash programme Supercar Superfam, warned Sadiq Khan that if he does not act to stop the tide of violent crime that is still sweeping across London, he will have “blood on his hands.”
“Sadiq Khan, are you watching this s***, mate?” he said. And you’re too preoccupied to extend ULEZ? Clear it up. You will have blood on your hands, as I have said.
“This person might have been stabbed very easily.”
This month, Mr. Khan reaffirmed that London remains a secure city, but he said that austerity has left him with “one hand tied behind my back.”
The public, according to the mayor of London, is “caught in the crossfire” of government policy choices.
In a statement, he said: “One murder is one murder too many, and one victim of crime is one victim of crime too many, but I feel like I’ve had one hand tied behind my back for the last six years because of austerity.”
“We’ve lost 21,000 cops, and the government has said that when our population increases, it will replace them with 20,000 officers.”
Because of the government’s decision, “We’ve seen cutbacks in youth workers, youth services, after-school programmes, and things councils give, and Londoners are caught in the crossfire.”
The mayor also mentioned “longer daylight hours, school vacations, a heatwave,” and the cost of living problem after six homicides in the city in less than a week when speaking to LBC radio.
On August 18, he addressed the rise in violence, saying, “We have witnessed over the past few days, last week, a lot of horrific killings.”
“I’m afraid this summer is turning out to be what we thought it would be—a rise in violent crime. There are more daylight hours, school breaks, a heatwave, and so on.
To put an end to the violence, “We are collaborating with the police.”
