An 18-year-old student is in critical condition after a stabbing incident near a Woolwich school, prompting a police investigation.
The police rushed to Prince Imperial Road after getting reports of the stabbing. When they arrived, they found the young man injured. Emergency services, including an air ambulance, were also on the scene, which is a sign that things were serious.
The area was cordoned off, blocking access to the road and causing quite a stir in the neighborhood. People were understandably shaken up, with many expressing their fears about safety in the area. A local parent shared how scary it was to see so many emergency vehicles.
The school had to close for the day, asking students to work online instead. They sent out messages to keep everyone informed. The headteacher mentioned that the college is providing support for anyone affected by the incident.
As of now, the police haven’t made any arrests, and they’re still looking into what happened. The community is on edge, with some saying they’re not surprised by the violence, given the chaos around school times. If anyone has information, they’re encouraged to reach out to the police.
