Between 5pm and 5.20pm on Wednesday 25 January 2023, a silver BMW in Lower Road is reported to have been driven at a man standing on the pavement.
It is alleged some men got out of the vehicle and chased the victim into St Paul’s Avenue where he suffered an injury consistent with a stab wound.
The 19-year-old was taken to a London hospital where he remains in a stable condition. It is thought the victim and the suspects were known to each other.
Arrest
On the following day, a 40-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and taken into custody.
Detective Inspector Pete Smith said: ‘An investigation is underway into the circumstances including house-to-house enquiries in the area.
‘We are urging witnesses or anybody with information to call our appeal line. Motorists with dashcam and residents with private CCTV are also asked to check for relevant footage.’
