Passenger Stabbed After Shocking ‘Game of Chicken’ Crash in Quiet Kent Town
A man has spoken exclusively of his terror after his friend was stabbed during a bizarre early-morning crash on a quiet Herne Bay road. The incident, which left the passenger seriously injured, erupted on Stanley Road just after 7am on Tuesday, 3 May 2022.
Knife Attack After ‘Game of Chicken’ on Stanley Road
The driver, who asked to remain anonymous, told how the drama unfolded when a white car appeared to challenge them in a deadly game of chicken. “The white car came straight at us,” he said. “Then it smashed into a tree stump and flipped on its side, crashing into my BMW.”
Two men jumped out and fled, but a third stumbled from the wreck with a knife. “My mate ran after two of them, and that’s when he got stabbed,” the driver revealed. “There was blood everywhere and he was bleeding badly.”
Shock in Sleepy Herne Bay
The driver, a Herne Bay local of ten years, admitted he was baffled by the violence. “You’d expect this in Hackney, not here. I keep myself to myself. I was just helping a mate out who called me stuck at a garage.”
With children usually heading to school along this road, the early hour may have prevented a catastrophe. Emergency services arrived at 7.15am, treating the stabbed man and securing the scene.
