Bradstone Road Locked Down After Brutal Stabbing in Folkestone Flat
Bradstone Road was sealed off tonight following a shocking attempted murder inside a flat at Bradstone Court, Folkestone. Armed police, a dog unit, and officers from Kent Police swooped in just after 10pm on Friday. The tense scene saw multiple police vehicles blocking the road and nearby New Street, which had been the focus of a recent drug crime crackdown that led to the arrest of 11 suspects.
18-Year-Old Found with Neck Wound
A shaken witness spoke exclusively about finding the victim bleeding heavily from a neck stab wound inside her flat. “I woke up and saw blood pouring from his neck. He’s about 18 years old. I had to hold his neck together and carry out first aid before paramedics arrived,” she revealed.
Neighbours say the victim had recently helped police after rooftop trouble and was reportedly targeted for being a ‘grass’.

Shortly after the attack, armed officers and a police dog searched the area for a man who fled the scene. Forensics teams scoured the flat and collected blood samples from the pavement as part of a full crime scene investigation.
