A resident of Noel Street, who asked not to be named, said: “There was a lot of screaming and shouting around 4.45am, it woke me up. “I saw a group of five or six men running up and down the street and there was a lot of very loud shouting and women screaming, it sounded serious, whatever it was. “I heard a woman shouting ‘ what have you done?’, she was hysterical.I was a bit scared to come out, but once I saw the blue lights I thought it was a bit safer. “I’ve only lived here for six months and we’ve had a few problems. I don’t think I want to be living here any more.” Another resident said: “There was a group of guys fighting, about three women and three or four men, all in about their early 20s, one of the girls kept screaming. They were up and down the street, all over the place. “They were fighting each other. One guy got stabbed in the side. He took his shirt off to show the police and you could see blood coming from his side.His blood-stained tee-shirt is in my neighbour’s front garden. “This is normally a quiet street, but on Friday and Saturday nights there can be a few problems with people who have had too much to drink. “There are a lot of cameras in the street so whatever happened is going to be on CCTV.” Another neighbour said: “I just heard a racket, there was a lot of people shouting and screaming. When the police arrived there were a few people sat down by the police cars.” Ravinder Singh, owner of Soand Meat Shop, which was forced to close, said: “The police told me there are six people in hospital and they’re not very well.” Colin Singh, a partner in Queens Pizza, which was also closed, said: “They won’t tell us anything, they just said it’s a serious incident.We can’t open up, we should be in the shop from 10.30am to start preparing.” Police say they were called to the Narborough Road area at about 4.40am following reports of a disturbance involving a number of people. Two men, aged 24 and 23, have been arrested in connection with the incident and are currently in custody. Witnesses or anyone with information is asked to call Detective Sergeant Paul Lambert on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555111.

MC Prussian Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Tell you what, there's a good barber near there. Does he have a cutting edge in dealing with unwanted criminals and drunkyards in the area?
Finnegan Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 On another note I'm gonna go support Hibs full time Absolutely got the Huns number this year. Loving it. They've got too many games in hand, though, not going back up this year. Better team than last season, though, Handling and co looking really good prospects.
Frank to be Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 So sad to hear of this needless violence. Hopefully when they're all better there's a good programme they can all go on to help with their aggression.
