A silver BMW is said to have been driven at a man standing on the pavement in Lower Road between 5 and 5.20 p.m. on Wednesday, January 25, 2023.
Some men allegedly got out of the vehicle and chased the victim down St Paul’s Avenue, where he suffered a stab wound.
The 19-year-old was taken to a hospital in London and is now in stable condition. It is believed that the victim and the suspects knew each other.
The next day, a 40-year-old man was arrested and taken into custody on suspicion of assault.
‘An investigation is underway into the circumstances, including house-to-house inquiries in the area,’ said Detective Inspector Pete Smith.
‘We are encouraging witnesses and anyone with information to contact our appeal line. Drivers with dashcams and residents with private CCTV are also encouraged to search for relevant footage.’
