East London News A Force for the community…
TWO MEN were stabbed on Hackney Marshes, E9 early on Sunday morning, 18th August. The London Ambulance Service was called out just before 7am on Sunday and, in turn, called out the police.
It is thought that there had been an unlicensed music event on the Marshes on Saturday night, going through to Sunday morning. This may have brought more people than usual out to the Marshes, and police hope that someone knows what happened.
When they reached the Marshes, the emergency services found one man, aged in his mid-20s, suffering from stab wounds and a second man, 19, nearby. The London Ambulance Service took both men to an East London hospital. The first man is in a critical condition, but the second man is not in a life-threatening condition. Police believe the two men know each other.
Detective Constable Simon Johnston, who is investigating, said, “Hundreds of people attended the music event on Saturday, 17th August that ended with a young man fighting for his life in hospital. Did you see, hear, or happen to take footage of a violent incident on the Marshes? Do you have information that could assist the investigation? If you can help please don’t hesitate to contact police. Your information, no matter how small, could be a piece that is currently missing from the picture of last night’s events that we are building.”
