Police were called to Southern Avenue at 6.11pm

Armed police are patrolling the area and cars are not being allowed in or out of Southern Avenue after Proctors Close while a crime scene is in place, according to a witness.

A Feltham resident said: "I heard a lot of shouting and screaming at around 6pm and I went out to see what was going on, there were a lot of people.

"Someone was saying there was a man with a big machete and there's loads of blood everywhere.

"I saw the victim, he had either a makeshift bandage or toilet roll wrapped all round his head and down the side of his face.

"Apparently he had been stabbed further along Southern Avenue and he had run through and collapsed in the main part of the road.

"The ambulance came and he had just passed out, they were dealing with him out there. There's quite a lot of blood in the road now.

"They won't let us take our cars out or any cars come into Southern Avenue after Proctors Close because everywhere there's blood is part of the crime scene.

"There's armed police walking around and a police dog as well. There are people out there who are saying they're worried for their kids and their kids shouldn't have to be watching this sort of thing and grow up around it."

There has also been an unconfirmed report that there had been an argument involving a group of about 15 males by some bins.

The Met Police have been approached for details of exactly what has happened.
