Two teenagers were airlifted to the hospital following a stabbing incident involving a masked gang near a serene park in Northampton. The attack occurred at 8:35 pm on East Oval, King’s Heath, where at least three individuals were reportedly stabbed. The victims, aged 17 and 18, sustained knife injuries, with the 18-year-old receiving treatment for severe wounds.
Northamptonshire Police suspects that six individuals took part in the assault, with five wearing dark attire and face coverings, while the sixth person was in a white t-shirt and shorts. Authorities believe one of the suspects fled the scene in a small dark-colored car and are appealing for witnesses who observed the vehicle leaving the vicinity after the incident.
The public is urged to come forward with any doorbell, CCTV, or dashcam footage related to the event, as requested by Northamptonshire Police for urgent assistance. Detective Inspector Gary Collins emphasized the significance of community cooperation in providing information and evidence crucial for the investigation.
