We were made aware of an incident at Cell Barnes Lane, yesterday, with armed police on the scene. Obviously especially at the moment residents were concerned. We were able to contact the police who confirmed the incident concerned people who were known to each other and resulted in Aggravated Bodily Harm and a stabbing. The armed police were passing through the area heard the call on the radio and attended the incident.

Whilst it is never good to hear of stabbings in the area it is slightly more reassuring that the people concerned knew each other and that firearms weren’t actually involved.
