It is quite scary to look at the Argus these days.There seems to be a murder every other week and assaults on the seafront and stabbings all over the place.
Is it really that bad?

Not an area where you would consider this type of attack happening, is anywhere safe locally these days?

A teenager was stabbed in Portslade this evening (Saturday 10 September).
The attack happened outside the Co-op on the corner of Abinger Road, and Shelldale Road, Portslade, shortly after 5.15pm.
Neighbours helped stem the bleeding from the young victim’s neck and stomach.
Teenagers were seen fleeing on foot and by bike.
Sussex Police said: “Shortly after 5.15pm today police were called to an assault in Abinger Road, Portslade.
“Officers administered first aid to a male with serious injuries and he has now been taken to hospital.
“Police are still at the scene conducting inquiries and the southern end of Abinger Road remains closed at this time.”

Bad crash at the Hickstead to Burgess Hill today road blocked hope everyone is okay.
So not fatal then. Perhaps a change of thread title would be a good idea.

I manage that very Co-op Store. The lad is not deceased to my knowledge.

As much as the thread title it would seem....but given the nature of both incidents ..let's not question eh?
One appears to be a potential murder and one a road accident? I fail to see why the post was made on this thread.

Just saying nasty things happen puts the bad game in perspective hope that everybody OK in these incidents. Yes maybe I should have given it its own thread.

Indeed, given that also at the Portslade end of the road it is not Manor Hall Road

As another 40+ adult I would like to remind you that knives were used in the 80s and I know of swords used to cut off arms in rockabilly / skinhead fights back then so yeah ne'er-do-wells do... But you know that

Yeah, you make a very good point and I'm well aware of that and I'm certainly not trying to paint my youth as halcyon days but I used to know quite a few wrong uns from the likes of Maggie's Bar and other places in Worthing in the late 80s, early 90s and I can't remember any of them pulling knives when they got into scraps. And I'm just guessing here but a skinhead v rocker fight is possibly more likely to have a bit of pre-planning to it.

The arms being cut off were yes pre planned attacks in Mordon your right that was against skinheads in a revenge attack, but knives were used regularly by gangs however the press was not interested unless someone died and Facebook, Twatter etc was not about etc etc etc.... We lived in far more violent times fella, because people God even bouncers could beat the feck outta ya without fear of cctv

Yep - you're probably right there, especially about the behaviour of bouncers. I'll take it all back - it does look like I'm looking back with rose-tinted specs.
