Police On Upland Road

[brontoscorpio]

Police closed The Road .Upland Road With Hindmans Junction.

[KidKruger]

Also Crystal Palace Road blocked off completely to pedestrians and traffic from the junction with Whitely down to what seems to be almost as far as the actress/North Cross Road.

[Blondie]

Quite a stretch of road cordoned off

Someone has been stabbed and is in surgery. They have caught those responsible.

[DulwichFox]

It would seem that the incident happened near the junction of Darrell Road and Upland Road.

It was between 05.00 - 06.00 am this morning..

According to a local Resident, there seemed to of been much Commotion around that time.

How nasty and shocking to hear of a stabbing on the doorstep.

Meanwhile, is it helpful to anyone to say that the correct grammar is "could have, would have, should have", not "could of, would of, should of"

?

[MarkB1990]

Yeah because what we are all worried about right now is people using correct application of grammar when they are stabbings happening.......

[KidKruger]

Some people don't use great grammar all the time. Fact of forums. An observation for a less grave thread, perhaps.

"Yeah because what we are all worried about right now is people using correct application of grammar when they are stabbings happening......."

but that's not the case is it?

[Coman]

The Upland Road/ Hindmans Road area is no longer cordoned off.

Interesting- the reason why 'could have' etc turned, incorrectly, into 'could of' is because of the use of the contraction...'could've' which sounds like 'could of'.....anyway...sad times for everyone

Does anyone know how the victim is?

[Treehugger2]

We heard via the police that it was a fight in a house that spilled into the road.

"The man in his 60s has now been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder,

and the woman arrested on suspicion of GBH. They have been released on bail."

I'm confused.

How can someone arrested for attempted murder and the other for gbh be released on bail? Surely not?

[tomskip]

Maybe the person who was stabbed was breaking and entering and the police feel the people who injured him did so in self defence and are not a threat to any other members of the public. The Southwark News report says the couple who were arrested had reported "forced entry and assault". Who knows? this is just my reading of the story.

[Sue]

No mention of arrest of the man who allegedly

broke into the house and assaulted the couple?

Hopefully at some point we will know the full story ....

I have a feeling that there is more to this than meets the eye, but who knows ....

Aren't the rules for bail completely separate to the crime committed - I forget. About likelihood to abscond or commit another offence etc.

[SnakeFilth]

this initially sounds like it could be a similar incident to the burglary gone wrong in Hither Green last year.

The newspaper report says his injuries are not life-threatening, so hopefully he is OK.

[garages2018]

Just to let any one know. The Victims are the couple that live in the house

Not the one trying to get into it. If someone even knocks on your door at 5.00

you got ask your self,WHY,WHO, and risk if opening door. Did he break in time will

tell.
