Shocking moment 19-year-old is stabbed in front of terrified onlookers in UK (Video)

A ghastly video has shown the moment a teenager was stabbed in a vicious attack on a busy Wigan street in the United Kingdom.

The video showed the young man, who has not yet been identified, being held down on the floor on Wigan’s Market Street on July 18.

A knife-wielding maniac towers over him as he waves a large knife at him several times, before plunging it into him several times.

The alleged victim has since been taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. It is not currently know whether he is still at hospital.

Since the attack, two men, aged 30 and 19, were arrested on suspicious of attempted murder.

A spokesperson for GMP said: ‘Emergency services are responding to a stabbing on Market Street in Wigan [on July 18]. A man aged 19 has suffered injuries which are not life-threatening. He has been taken to hospital for treatment.

Inspector Sam Davies, of GMP’s Wigan District, said: ‘Officers responded to the incident immediately and pursued the offenders. Both suspects remain in our custody and a knife has been recovered.

‘Another of our officers provided first aid to the victim, who has been taken to hospital for treatment. Whilst the incident will undoubtedly cause concern, I want to highlight the positive response provided by us and reassure the public that we treat incidents of this nature extremely seriously.

‘This would appear to be an isolated incident and there is no indication there is a wider risk to the community. The public should expect to see an increased police presence in the area by way of reassurance.

‘GMP’s commitment to tackling knife crime remains a priority, and we will continue to work alongside partners to identify those involved, provide preventative advice and ensure those carrying and using weapons are brought to justice.

‘One person injured with a knife is too many and across the force we undertake lots of proactive, and educational work, to help take knives off the streets.’
