Two hurt in town centre stabbing

1:20pm Friday 27th April 2007

comment Comments (141)   Have your say »


TWO men were rushed to hospital today suffering from stab wounds after an incident in Eastleigh.

The emergency services received a call at 11.45am after reports of a public disorder taking place in the street involving two males.

Officers cordoned off the scene, in the town's High Street close to David Evans estate agents, where the trouble flared.

Both men, believed to be in their mid 20s, have been taken to Southampton General Hospital.

One witness, who works in a nearby shop, told how she heard loud shouting and when she went outside she saw a man with stab wounds to his neck.

Anyone with information should contact police in Eastleigh on 0845 045 4545.

I was planning on going to the Great Moghul for lunch, and was very upset that i couldnt get there. With regards to all the comments being made people dont just walk down the road and get stabbed! in my 30 years on this planet (thankfully not spent in Eastleigh) i have never been stabbed for no reason. Eastleigh has the largest percentage of pond life out of any town i know and regardless if they are someones son, brother, friend etc they ruined my lunch hour.

Id just like to say im from Eastleigh and the first to say its full of chavs and townies – ranging from the age of 10 to bloody 30 – so mid 20s, yeah, could be chavs. But not quite the point.
Its tuning into a rough area where noone wants to live, luckily house prices are making sure people cant.
Someone has been stabbed, hopefully both will be ok. As for deserving it, you’v gotta be one **** of a **** to even think that let alone actually share the thought with others.
But I would like to say, if they were fighting with intent of causing harm, then not only should they pull through but they should then be put behind bars and taken off the streets to ensure decent innocent people don’t get hurt by the same thing

Have you seen the blood on the wall on the left hand side of the alley next to david evans, the tapes all gone, the roads are all about, why doesnt everyone go take a look whilst they are on their way to get their indian and kebabs, and has anyone a thought for the poor old lady that collapsed after witnessing this? i hope out of all this, at least she is ok, is this the kind of world we are bringing our kids up in now, such a nice demographic. Nobody deserves to be stabbed, these boys have mothers and families no doubt, and maybe it would be wise to discuss positive steps to preventing this happening again, rather than throwing insults at each other like little kids, in fact, little kids are better mouthed than some of you.

seriously, why ARE people using this unfortunate event to attack eastleigh residents? yes the place is a complete hole in places, but in others i've found it way better than mansbridge, portswood and even highfield and upper shirley.

puh, i bet it's just rich emo college kids having a pop, because they're angry that some townie made fun of their clothes/hair, and they never had the guts to have a shout back.

this is a sad situation, please don't attack an entire community based on your dealings with a bunch of outcast kids you've seen running around in shellsuits in the high street. there are plenty of good people in this town.

best wishes to the two guys recovering in hospital and good luck to the police on sorting this out.

To all the people who think its fun to slate people who have been stabbed and thier familys, I would like to hope that judging from your insensitive attitudes that none of you have children of your own, but when (if) you grow up one day and decide to have your own children then maybe just think how it would feel being a mother and finding out that your child has been stabbed!. No person deserves that.

Laura, Eastleigh says...
4:48pm Fri 27 Apr 07

I think i such a shame that so many people are being so personally insulting to people they dont know, i.e Mary etc, I have only lived in Eastleigh for three years, i started off in fair oak and then moved more centrally, it seemed such a lovely place from the outside, but now, the things that happen and the people that live here, i think my children and i would be far safer somewhere else! there is no community spirit here, oh and monetts is next to david evans mayus, not the grill, not that i would touch the grease saturated c**p that comes out of those establishments anyway, enjoy your kebabs.

The Verbal Disease, Eastleigh says...
7:29pm Fri 27 Apr 07

Ok, basically for all those who think it's funny to ridicule others from a way of life there not familiar with "yea where the idiots(sarcasm, alot of you upper class people will be familiar with this)". Honestly if people would stop taking so much stuff to heart or saying offensive things, even ment out of humour, (kebab joke's i appreciate them though but others won't) maybe society would be better, or maybe we wouldn't have a sence of humour. I honestly don't know but when an argument turns into violence isn't it truely out of control, are thoughts are what seperates us from animals so, suggestivly we should start being humane but i don't know the circumstances of this out break, so i really can't comment to much........... none the less people we need to think.

P.S i'm not a chav and neither an emo

Just simply a teen thats seen an appauling situations and for the families i'm appologetic on current society.

Also a citizen of eastleigh, the town centre is outside my door.

Where I grew up (a town not much smaller than Eastleigh) everyone knew everyone and this kind of thing wouldn't happen. It's a shame. Eastleigh is a pretty nice place aside from the infestation of Chavs.

I'm sickened and disgusted by the comments i have read. There is no more problems in eastleigh than you would find in any other area of hampshire. The whole country is being over run with weapons. I have 3 children and i'm not a single mum. I'm proud to live here and raise my children, i hope that i have taught them the dangers out there and to respect others. Please stop this abuse that is being thrown at each other. At the end of the day 3 people have been hurt, 2 men and 1 lady. I wish them all a speedy recovery and send my sympathy to their families. Maybe we could all show a bit more compassion and stop speculating on something that only the ones involved know about.

I hope I'm still youngif 28 counts. You are right though. I lived in Lymington for a bit and there were Pre-Chav Youths we called "Dropouts" they were forever hitting eachother and such things.

I HAVE A SUGGESTION

makes a change from all the pointless wasteful hurtful rubbish people have been saying so far.

how about rather than speculating, or taking the **** out of something you can do nothing about, dont understand or frankly dont care about. why not do something for them?

EVERYONE blames "chavs" or "townies" butI dont see anyone giving them somewhere save to hang out, somewhere wehre they can have fun, and be normal teenagers. DONT point the finger, and do nothing.

Thanks

While I am quite frankly disgusted at some of the things I've read here, it's also good to see that some people are decent enough to extend their thoughts to the victims and families.

I live literally five minutes away from where the attack happened, and though I am very much aware of the reputation this town has, it is always a shock when something like this happens so close to home. I'm just thankful it wasn't any worse than it was.

I cannot understand why people would use something like this as an excuse to write abuse about not only my town, but also generalise with nasty, hurtful comments about the people who live in it. If you honestly believe that every single person who lives here fits the descriptions that you have written, you are clearly very narrowminded and it's no wonder this country is going the way it is. It's easy to categorise people, and jump on the 'blame the chavs' bandwagon. It's not so easy to look at yourself and question your own prejudices, but I recommend you give it a go before letting your ignorance loose somewhere like this.

I hope they are ok... but if they are chavs, (ie the ones who go round beating up/stabbing innocent people) then they have whats coming to them. Its harsh, but its fair, doubt they thought about all those other people they hurt
Plus you have got to realise that normal people won't go stabbing each other, just because they were arguing, which blantenly proves they are probably pikeys!!!
But good luck to them if they aren't part of the scummy society we now live in

Some facts to add to this strange conversation.

Eastleigh was voted in the top ten places to live in the UK. (don't know how, but it was)

The police are making a concerted effort to combat the problems in Eastleigh, see the obvious presence of PCSO's as evidence.

Eastleigh council however has blocked several efforts to improve the situation, like the attempt to get legislation in place that would give the police more powers to handle people drinking in the streets. Blocked by the council.

I feel sorry for the PCSO's who have to walk around unarmed and should be seen to stop this. The police are taking advantage of people by paying them cheaper wages, for doing a more dangerous job. The PCSO's in Eastleigh are excellent. Thank you for your great work.

I have to agree with the sensible people who have posted comments on here. It is sick to joke about things like this. How would you feel if it was a member of your family?? I think it's time you people grew up!

Also, it's not fair to blame this on Eastleigh and the people that live here. I have lived here for 5 years (previously from Portsmouth) and this is the first stabbing I have heard of in Eastleigh. Most of the people here are svery nice but yes, there are a small group of people here who think that they can do what they like and behave like animals. It's sick!!

My thoughts go out to the people who were hurt in this incident. No matter what they were arguing about no-one deserves to be stabbed! My thoughts also go out to the people's families. I hope it all gets sorted and the people get better.

Chavs and chavscum are the one constant in Britain today. No matter where you go, there they are - fighting, stabbing, stealing your car, vandalising the bus-stop, posting on local paper message forums and displaying a woeful lack of grammar, spelling and basic syntax. Some even use "textspeak" abbreviations in a truly appalling bastardisation of the English Language.

Such people should be carted off to the penal colonies (if we still had some, which sadly we don't. How about using a few uninhabited Scottish Islands?)

Well at least the victim of the stabbing is still alive, which is more than can be said for the English language if the majority of the posts on here are anything to go by!

Anyone capable of using "ur" as a word deserves to have every single hair waxed from their body, just to prevent it getting in the way of them then having the correct spelling of "your" tattooed onto every inch of their scrawny, under-educated carcasses.

Personally, I blame the decline of empire. If we still had one of those, then we could give all of these mutants a nice red coat and pack them off to march line abreast toward the enemy lines. If they so wished, they would be welcome to chant "Ur goin' 'ome in a fckin' amberrrlance" as they went!

seriously, why ARE people using this unfortunate event to attack eastleigh residents? yes the place is a complete hole in places, but in others i\'ve found it way better than mansbridge, portswood and even highfield and upper shirley. puh, i bet it\'s just rich emo college kids having a pop, because they\'re angry that some townie made fun of their clothes/hair, and they never had the guts to have a shout back. this is a sad situation, please don\'t attack an entire community based on your dealings with a bunch of outcast kids you\'ve seen running around in shellsuits in the high street. there are plenty of good people in this town. best wishes to the two guys recovering in hospital and good luck to the police on sorting this out.
MMMM YOU START OF BY ASKING WHY ARE WE SLAGGING OFF EASTLIEGH RESIDENTS AND WHER THEY LIVE AND SAY WE SHOULD'NT DO IT BUT THEN IN YOUR NEXT PARAGRAPH SLAG OFF MANSBRIDGE,PORTSWOOD,HIGHFIELD AND SHIRLEY.MAKE YOUR MIND UP SHOULD WE SLAG THEM OFF OR NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recommend that the good people of Eastleigh form a pro-active group to deal with problems such as these. All you need is a van and some eager volunteers. The Eastleigh Vigilanties has a nice ring to it.

Finch, Eastliegh says...

I think Eastliegh is slowly turning into a chav magnet, no doubt anyone who lives there will agree with me. This is a real shame as Eastliegh has quite an impressive history and it really does deserve more respect (or as half of eastliegh's population would say, "rispek").

God I'm moving away from this place as soon as I can, and it didn't take some KFC stabbing to make me realise either.

PS: The EBK are a bunch of inbred fools. I can say this safely, because I'm pretty sure none of them are able to read, let alone figure out how to turn on a computer.

I live in central Eastleigh, about 100 yards from where this incident took place. My neighbours are very kind, very nice people and I believe the town as a whole to be a basically good place. There is however an underclass of people that live in Eastleigh that unfortunately bring the place down. Unlike the old working class who took pride in the little they could afford, these people take pride in dropping litter, in spraying grafiti, and in intimidating and anti-social behaviour.

Have been reading these comments, and am bemused by rather a lot of them. It really isn't fair to generalise an entire town upon the actions of a few dozen teenagers. Being a teen myself I experience a lot of prejudice from a lot of people, which is fortunately unjustified. The posts about high crime here have also confused me rather as Eastleigh actually has a very low crime rate, a LOT lower than places such as Southampton! Yes, there are young people who like to drink in the streets and fight for supposed 'fun' but this really does happen everywhere, it happens a lot in Winchester and Chandler's Ford too!

Thank you for your message "M" really worth reading. I can assure you your opinion is irrelevant to me, i happen to work in Southampton, and live in Winchester. There are of course council estates in Winchester just like anywhere else but not near me i am pleased to report. And i am not a teeny boy but run a successful business in Southampton, so if you need a skip to clear out your council house give me a shout.
