Lordship Lane incident

[Wino]

Let the monster thread begin.....

Commuter warning, traffic could be bad as a result.

[mummypig]

it was a "double stabbing" apparently

[matthew123]

Helicopter overhead - possibly trying to pin down culprit(s) who may be on the run

[KalamityKel]

I'm confused... the other thread in the lounge actually bothered to mention what the "incident" was compared to this rather empty thread and yet was locked... hmmm

I must say it's a little late to be having the police helicopter out circling the area don't you think... at least half an hour after reports came flying (excuse the pun) in.

[creeder]

Does anyone actually know what's going on? Glad I'm not the only one who reached for the laptop!!!

They caught one of the guys who had been stabbed over on my street a few minutes ago. I had walked past them a couple of minutes before not knowing something was up and steered clear. His hand was bleeding quite heavily. There were 4 police vans and an ambulance. And then they went through our rubbish bins (me peering out the window, excitedly). It was just like CSI

[BQC]

Blimey - what street is that?

[karter]

Haven't been here in a while.

If you are planning to get a bus or go up or down LL for the next hour or so don't bother. It's closed off between pistachio and foxtons and traffic is going way back.

There was a gang, a loud scream, blood everywhere on a guy, two stabbings. One guy tried to run away and get on a bus. Another teenager tried to run but the cops jumped him.

What is ED coming too?:-S

[KalamityKel]

Gang related?

[wigglebear]

worlingham road, the end near goose green. They've all left now. Just watching the helicopter hover around now.

helicopter v close to my house,

[wigglebear]

wait no. two cops are hanging out with the stabbed kid at the end of the street. but everything is calm.

[Asset]

at least they've caught some of the effers

[BQC]

Scary stuff... to any newcomers to ED - please do not be put off by this, it is a rare incident

[TillieTrotter]

According to a friend who called to check that my boys were home (bless him) there were a gang of kids running around LL, two ran into G & B and stole some wine then ran back across the road and tried to jump onto a bus. That's the end of my insider info.

[Ms T]

So that's why the helicopter was hovering over us and is still circling the sky. Daughter is stuck on bus and says that there were lots of police coming out of an ambulance, at Kings.

[matthew123]

It hovered over a few streets for quite a while - it was a Police helicopter (as per photo taken)

 

[????]

bleedin' provincial curtain twitchers............FFS

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

It's gone quiet. Matt123 must be in the frame for taking a shot at the helicopter.

[matthew123]

I was on the roof when I took that photo! Pinned down on the slates as I made the ultimate sacrifice of holding on with one hand so I could take a photo, even though I was being bounced up and down by the full furry of the chopper blades.. Phew!! I don't even think that photo is on Sky News yet!! ;-)

[Asset]

hope the victims are not too badly hurt

[lilolil]

passers by reporting that one has died, dont know if that is reliable info though...

Looked like they both were gang members and teenagers. The place was swarming with them at one point.

I would ask that:

a) people do not post messages based on hearsay

b) people inform the police if they saw anything

[KalamityKel]

Admin... I'm sure those posting what they're seeing/saw have already spoken with the police or are currently standing right next to them. Just a thought mind
