Horror as teen is stabbed in Bexley

An investigation has been launched after a teenager was stabbed in Bexley.

A 15-year-old boy was accosted and “jumped” by a group of males in a grassy area outside a block of flats on Frobisher Road on January 2.

He was taken to hospital with knife wounds though his condition is not life-threatening.

A teenager, who was arrested nearby, has since been released with no further action.

Detectives are investigating and are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Detective Constable Herkirt Kaur, South East Command Unit, said: "The location is overlooked by several tower blocks and I believe many people would have heard the commotion and looked to see what was happening.

"There is no place for violence and knife crime on our streets. I need to hear from local people who saw what happened. Please tell me what you know so we can work to identify those responsible for this horrific attack."

Any witnesses or those with information should call 101 ref 1588/2 Jan.

To remain 100% anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
