The gruesome scene left those living in the flats shaken last week. 

One 25-year-old mum, who lives on the second floor but asked not to be named, said she heard the aftermath of the stabbing.

‘I was in the bath and heard this loud knocking sound – it was like someone frantically banging on the door,’ she said.

‘I could hear someone say “come help me, come help me”.

‘That’s what made me think something was not right.’

The mum added: ‘It makes you feel scared. If I had come up the stairs with my child at the time I could have been caught up in it all.

‘I had to use the other stairs in the morning because I didn’t want my little girl to go out and see all the blood.’

Neighbours called 999 with paramedics and police ‘arriving within minutes’.

A spokesman for South Central Ambulance Service said the victim was taken to Queen Alexandra Hospital first before being transferred to the University Hospital Southampton.

Another 35-year-old woman from the first floor, who has lived in the block of flats for about a decade, said: ‘Nothing like this has ever happened. We’ve had drugs and a fight but nothing like this.’
