This is the third stabbing in 10 months in the area. Last September a man was stabbed on Bessemer Place.
In September 2020 a 20 year old was stabbed on the same street.
Witnesses can contact police by calling 101.
We have to reamp up stop and searches and section 60 notices iff we are to ever stop these sad needless and mindless incidents from happening on our streets.
