Man stabbed at Greenstead convenience store

The stabbing scene in Fivefields Court, Greenstead The stabbing scene in Fivefields Court, Greenstead

A man suffered multiple stab wounds near a Greenstead convenience store.

Police were called to the Co-op store in Fivefields Court at 8.30pm and found a man in his 30s with several "superficial" stab wounds.

Detectives believe there was an altercation between the victim and two men, one of whom has a knife.

Officers want to speak to Co-op customers who left the store before they arrived at the scene. They have launched increased patrols around the area.

The victim was taken to Colchester General Hospital by ambulance.

Anyone with information should contact detectives at Colchester CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Well for the Anti Greenstead brigade , for information only.
I have lived in Greenstead for 17 years, I own my own company and for 4 years been a volunteer on the SOS bus.
People tar with brushes, we live in a world of judgement , pity we can't open our eyes more & see what is around us.
There are stabbings and fights in all areas , but Greenstead is obviously a terrible no go area , in others opinion .
I feel safe and sound , you open your doors to whoever , but you decide who to let in .
small rant over , I have a shift to lead on the bus later , I have no doubt that all that fight and get drunk All come from my estate :)

Well said paddy16. My family have lived on the estate since it was built. My parents were on the estate even before Sir Charles Lucas was built. I no longer live there but i am still proud of the estate
