Police appeal for witnesses after 15-year-old stabbed in Bexley

A teenager has been stabbed in Bexley after being attacked without warning.

Police were called at around 9am on January 2 to Frobisher Road, Erith where a 15-year-old boy had been stabbed.

He was taken to hospital but his condition was not life-threatening.

The boy had been in a grassy area outside a block of flats when he was approached and ‘jumped’ by a group of males.

He then sought help by going into a nearby block.

A teenager was arrested nearby, but he was later released with no further action.

Detectives are investigating and are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Detective Constable Herkirt Kaur, South East Command Unit, said: “The location is overlooked by several tower blocks and I believe many people would have heard the commotion and looked to see what was happening.

“There is no place for violence and knife crime on our streets. I need to hear from local people who saw what happened. Please tell me what you know so we can work to identify those responsible for this horrific attack.”

Any witnesses or those with information should call 101 ref 1588/2 Jan.
