One resident said: "A man was stabbed in the neck about 1am this morning. A domestic I think. I live in Shalimar Gardens and I heard him shouting in the middle of the road this morning. There was loads of police and ambulances and there was a holicoptor flying really low. The man was apparently in a bad state. I heard he is stable this morning."
