Landlord saves knife victim

9:36am Monday 20th July 2009 in


A MAN was stabbed in the street before staggering to a pub where he was given life-saving treatment by the landlord who had suffered the same injury 20 years ago.

The 29-year-old victim managed to make it to the Lamb and Lion pub in Station Road, Westcliff, after being knifed in the back and left with a puntured lung in Valkyrie Road.

Adding a hostel will only increase the problems!

C/cider comment was tongue in cheek because of the plans already afoot to build a new hostel.

What an improvement to the area only 1 attempted murder over the weekend.

Wait until it gets really bad (very soon).

I feel sorry for the residents and IT WILL GET WORSE thanks to Southend Council Planners (of destruction)

well the other day i was walking past the pound shop opposite pizza hut and 3 black lads gestured to me to come over to them i didnt no what the wanted so i approached them and they started to talk to me in their unique way and i didnt understand a word what the were saying and then out of the blue in broad daylight they one tried to grab me as soon as he did this i knew that the situation was serious and i had to get out of it as quickly as possible so i ran away they all gave chase and i got about half way down the road that goes behind the pound shop ran to someones house as i was banging on the door to try and raise the alarm one of the guys did a flying kick at me wich sent me and him throught the front door the guy looked shoked and quickly got up and ran away a couple of seconds later the people who's house it was came out to see what all the noise was about and i explained to them what had happend and they comfourted me at this time i was to scared to walk back around the corner to my house one of the people who lived there walked up near the pound shop to see if they could see people who attacked me, they didnt and after about 15mins chatting to these people i made my way back home. i would like to thank the people that helped me on that day. i didnt make a complaint to the police as i thought that there was no point however in hine sight maybey this was the wrong deciocion, reading about the guy who got stabbed in the back im shocked cause this could have been me, what is this world coming to

My thoughts are with you danbod, I can't tell you how scared and angry I feel. Thank-you for posting your ordeal, at least the public can try to avoid such things happening to them. I will certainly try to avoid this part of Westcliff now, which is such a shame as I have some particularly good memories of it.

The echo reported that Idris Hill of 25 Britannia Road was charged with stabbing someone twice in Valkyrie Road last month. I hope a stabbing every month does not become something we have to accept in Valkyrie Road.

Westcliff could be vastly improved with a daisy cutter.
