"There was a young lad laid down on the floor with ambulance crews working on him using heart zappers. It did not look good.
“A silver VW had crashed into an Audi and then there was a fight involving knives. It looked like the lad had been stabbed in the neck.
"Once he was taken away police were preserving evidence. They put a sheet over his jacket and there’s a tent up near where the cars were.
