Stabbing on crystal palace road.


Recommended Posts

Bad news- somebody stabbed at east dulwich road end by traffic lights. Police shut road down and wouldn't say how serious but given an hour later it was still locked down with detectives there (assume man in blazer eating Mars bar in the middle of the scene and ordering people about was a detective) guess it's pretty serious.


Anybody know more?


Hopefully not fatal to too bad.

I saw the road closed off when coming out of dulwich leisure centre at 1pm, i also saw a helicopter on peckham rye which must have been an air ambulance. Absolutely terrible and to think It was in broad daylight, thoughts to the families and victim.

Any updates on this incident?


Hope it wasn't a bad outcome.


The Police do like to shut down roads when there is any kind of accident/incident. This can lead to traffic chaos on either side of the incident/accident.


Happened in Lewisham on Friday around 3.15pm when the whole of Lewisham and surrounding areas came to a standstill because of an accident that could have easily been moved on.


Car and van loads of police were on the scene within half an hour but didn't seem able or any way inclined to help move the traffic and bus loads of passengers along their way. Too busy on their phones or adjusting their jackets and just contemplating it as an everyday occurrence!


Daughter and myself were on a P4 bus but had to get off and walk ages away from the scene just to get home.

Really?


So is it really appropriate to use a thread about a tragic local incident to make some general criticism of the police's approach to crime scenes. If you ask me (and I appreciate you didn't), that speaks of a degree of selfishness which is really repugnant, even for some of the lows of this lovely forum.



Also, even putting to one side the fact that Minder's comments about traffic disruption were piggy-backed onto a thread about a stabbing (you know, with a knife where someone's sister/brother/mother/father gets cut open deliberately by someone else), I work with the consequences of accidents and I would hope the general public could be a bit more forgiving about the need for the police to investigate them thoroughly or clean up properly before allowing traffic to continue (particularly as important skidmarks and other detritus on the road might need to be investigated by an experienced police collision investigator rather than a local Lewisham bobby).


But yeah, probably a bit harsh.

Rah rah rah, I wouldn't read too much into that. I saw a stabbing on a bus in East London in 2012 and spent days looking for a news report about it because I was so worried about the victim and had no way of knowing what had happened to him (poor kid) but nothing ever appeared on any online media.


Fingers crossed you're right though and there was no stabbing. If not, my heart goes out to the victim and their family.

I guess only fatal stabbings or ones where the victim is seriously injured make the news in London.

It's not a case of police *liking* to do this - they have to treat the area as a crime scene/murder scene (and preserve forensic evidence) until they know otherwise - their in constant contact with the police who accompany the victim to A&E to get updates on how the victim is (would drive me barmy in A&E as they'd be asking almost as soon as the patient walked in as to how they were going to be, but once you know they've taped half the local roads off I could understand the sense of urgency!).


Rather than moaning about the police response to the incident, think it should be the perpetrator(s) you blame for your inconvenience.

Indeed.


The police are damned if they do and damned if they don't, it seems.


And meantime, please remember somebody has apparently been stabbed - which rather overshadows any inconvenience to others, I feel.

There I was asking for an update on the original post, which nobody had replied to for a while and hoping everything was ok and I'm selfish, repugnant, low, off topic and insensitive and don't know what a stabbing is. You can't win on this forum.


I picked up on the original poster's comments about the Police shutting roads down.


Of course they have to investigate a crime scene but surely also keep the traffic moving too?


With the incident in Lewisham (somebody had come off their pushbike whether pushed, fell, hit by something I don't know) but there were elderly people and people with young children just stranded with nowhere to go for ages.


And Sue, I think you've misconstrued buggie's comments as if I was in traffic at the stabbing incident. I wasn't.


And yes, Otta, let's hope it's good news.

Minder - no, it was clear from your post that you were commenting on an incident in Lewisham and making a general point about the police response to such incidents.


I was responding to Buggie's point that the perpetrators are the root cause of whatever happens, and also criticisms of the police response.


Sorry if you felt I was getting at you personally.


Does it really matter?

    • all I said was "take a pro cash stance too far" - what twisting have I done?   plenty of good arguments for retention of cash - but let's not get too detached from reality either lest we go back to trading livestock   But to go back to your post DD:   "Or don't stop using cash" Yep plenty of people will agree with this - nothing controversial here   "Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote" - getting a bit weird now - why not - it's super convenient for both users and businesses. And far easier to keep a track of your balance using your electronic wallet than old systems of cheques taking days to clear, how much did I take from cashpoint 2 days ago etc. But people will differ so whatever works   "God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid" - big straw man argument here. Why bring this in? Unless you are also suggesting we don't buy any goods not made from within a 5 mile radius and nothing transported by air or sea? "a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed." I've had my phone stolen but nothing was lost because it was secure.I've been mugged and lost cash and valuable. It's not a binary thing   "your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many."  Proper overreaching now
    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
