The road was taped off from the corner of Belvoir Road. I arrived home at 5pm and there were at least 3 or 4 police cars, lots of police searching the grass at the front of the estate. There was police tape from the corner of Belvoir Road up to the width of the Dawson Height estate in Overhill Road which meant no traffic could get through.


People wanting to pass through the tape were being signed in by a police woman.


Most of the police left the area by 7.15pm although one car remained.


The previous night we had the 'excitement' of a flashing/siren fire engine which was putting out a fire in a garden opposite Dawson Heights.

just heard a young lady, possibly a jogger was stabbed in the back... apparently two guys in a works vehicle were there at the scene helping to comfort her. been told shes in hospital getting treatment....

as we all know at times like this theres always rumours so i can't say how much of this information is true...


apparently it happened at the bit leading into the estate where the cars enter...

sweetgirl, just saving this to see how accurate it turns out to be.

Probably wiser not to stick this on here til you know it's true, then.

my friend who lives on the estate told me about it..... but as we know no matter how close you live to the scene of the crime, people can get there wires crossed. she got this information from her neighbour whose son had seen the woman bending down & holding her tummy when he was coming home from school....... this was before the police arrived. the police also questioned her son about what he saw.

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
