A teenager’s hand was said to be left “hanging by a thread” after a terrifying axe attack in front of dozens of shoppers and diners on one of London’s busiest high streets.
The 18-year-old who was also armed with a machete was attacked by another youth wielding a hatchet in Upper Street, Islington, at 6pm last night.
Another teenager, who is also 18, suffered stab wounds in the attack.
It’ll come as no surprise
which demographic these teenagers are from, of course.
Detectives are investigating possible links to a surge in postcode gang violence in the borough.
Both teenagers were later arrested by police for grievous bodily harm.
Good thing they didn’t taser these ‘vulnerable children’, eh?
Don't tease, Julia! There are at least two different gang demographics in north London that overlap in Islington although not usually in the middleclass bits.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. Met policing will soon be completely reinvigorated and on top of the situation, Julia.
ReplyDeleteThat 'damage' was superficial and a few scratches will simply buff out.
Was it the Demos v the Graphics?
ReplyDeleteNow a shooting, also early afternoon, busy Essex Rd, but again no description of either attacker or victim. The DM likes to tease as much as you do! To think that Islington has so many invisible people in addition to all the ones you can see.
ReplyDeleteXX “There was a couple sat there eating so they must have been very shocked by the whole thing.”XX
ReplyDeleteWhy? Is your food THAT bad?
"Don't tease, Julia! There are at least two different gang demographics..."
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sure there's more than that! We are a multicultural paradise, after all...
"To think that Islington has so many invisible people in addition to all the ones you can see."
Heh!
