A TEENAGER has been seriously injured in a stabbing attack in Wibsey village. 

There was a huge police presence around Wibsey Park on Monday evening. 

A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said at around 3.40pm, the force received a report of a robbery where a 16-year-old boy had been stabbed. 

A spokesperson said: "Officers attended and found a teenage male with serious injuries.

"He has been taken to hospital for further treatment."

Police scenes were in place in Wibsey Park, where the attack is believed to have happened, and in Wibsey Park Avenue, where the teenager was found. 

The spokesperson added: "Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact Bradford District CID on 101 or by using the Live Chat on the West Yorkshire Police website.

"The crime reference is 13220362225.

"Information can also be reported anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or online."

Councillor Sabiya Khan (Lab, Wibsey) told the Telegraph & Argus: “Our thoughts are with the victim and [we] sincerely hope they’re ok and they haven’t had a serious injury.

“The police are working, they’re following up on the incident and they want to reassure the community they’re doing everything possible.”

She added: “It’s an isolated attack I would say as we do have anti-social behaviour and vandalism incidents reported which we work in partnership with the police to tackle. We haven’t had an incident of this nature.

“The police are doing their work. They’re following up on inquiries. They’re investigating thoroughly to get to the bottom of this.”

 “Our thoughts are with the victim. We hope the person is ok.”

People spoke of their fears about the attack. One resident said: “Bradford is getting worse”.

Another, who was just streets away, said: “They all flew up past my house with sirens on when we got back from school.”

A mum described how her children had wanted to go to the park after school and that she was relieved she said no.

“It’s the entrance to the park taped off including the edge of the garage over the road,” another said.

“I don’t know [what] all the police were doing. Must have been 10 cars, dogs and an ambulance which then went.”

Another said: “Doesn’t look good.”

One Wibsey local said: “Oh not good. Saw them flying up High Street, thought ‘something bad somewhere’.”
