Drugs may be behind stabbing

THE stabbing of an 18-year-old man in a flat in Bromley Common may have been a dispute over drugs.

A resident who lives in a neighbouring flat told the News Shopper that people in flat regularly stay up throughout the night taking drugs.

A man was taken to hospital early yesterday morning after being stabbed in the chest.

The incident happened in a flat in Crown Lane, Bromley.

Police were called to the address at 12.51am on Saturday and the man was taken to a south London hospital.

His condition is said to be stable.

Five people were arrested at the scene but were all released without charge shortly afterwards.

Bromley CID are investigating and are keeping an open mind about motive.

A neighbour who did not want to be named said: "There is a lot more to the story.

"There is bound to be drugs involved.

"There are always people there during the night taking drugs."

Another stabbing?

I will be very interested in finding out more about this story and will look forward to hearing your views.

OK Here's my view, stabbings seem to have become commonplace among society - maybe its time to start curbing sales of the things. Oh and Erastus, please stop commenting on every single story on this website. It becomes tiresome reading yet another belittling comment (not on this particular story) from yourself. I hope you liked my "Erase-me Pig Fart" comment on the scissor stabbing story!

Nick, I am sorry but I found your comment rather dull.

Incidentally, I am entitled to express my opinion on every news story, whether you like it or not.

Throughout history the lower social order have always stabbed, shot or beat each other to death. At least they kept it at home this time and didn't cause countless road closures etc inconveniencing the rest of us!

I think you're wasting your time on this one - the type of people who do this to each other can't read or write or communicate in a civilised manner.

That wouldn't be 'Homo erectus' by any chance?...Coming back to this 'drug related' incident it does seem as though we have arrived at a certain juncture within our society: that whenever a story of this nature, that involves DRUGS is becoming 'commonplace' in our mindsets...it's so 'prevalent' that we've come to the stage now that we don't care any more; so long as they keep it amongst themselves & out oh harms way then who gives a damned ****!?!?....

Eraresetus,

Stabbings and beatings aren't confined to the lower social order. Lord Lucan, Jeremy Bamber?

By the way, have you got ANY friends? You know, real life human beings who you can physically communicate with? In all seriousness are you home - bound? Are you perhaps suffering from an illness that prevents you from venturing out into the outside world and living life, rather than airing your antequated views on here 24/7?

Sorry to interrupt...but why dont you all take your petty snipes at each other somewhere else. When it comes down to it, a young man has been stabbed, yes he may be involved in drugs and what not but all of you sniping away at each other has nothing to do with it! The country is going down the pan at a fast rate but we still have self obesessed people arguing about social order and the such. Maybe if we all voted with out feet, the government might realise what a complete mess they are making and have made of our country!
