Resident, Lorraine Aldfred  said, “This is in my road and I have lived here 10 years and nothing like this has happened before. What has been written on social media is not correct,  this is not what happened.  The man stabbed himself – he needs mental help hopefully  he will now get this,.” Another resident who did not want to be named, said, “They saw a man with Police who had a taser drawn but it was not fired at the man. It was all pretty scary because at first we thought it was a knife attack.” Police have confirmed one man sustained self-inflicted injuries. He is said to be in a stable condition at Queen Alexandra hospital in Cosham
