Speaking to the MEN, the neighbour said: "I heard a knock around 11pm last night. I don't usually open the door because you never know, there are so many vicious people out there.

"I asked who is it, and a lad said he'd been hurt and needs help, and I said okay, 'I'll call the ambulance'. He didn't say what had happened, just that he'd been hurt, and I didn't open the door so I didn't get a look at him.

"The ambulance arrived within two minutes, they were very good.

"I heard later on that he had been stabbed, poor lad."
