Weymouth Knife Attack: Teen Stabbed as Manhunt Launched in Dorset
A late-night street in Weymouth has turned into a major crime scene, after a 19-year-old man was stabbed in what police are treating as a serious assault, triggering an urgent manhunt and a wave of concern across the local community.
The incident unfolded near a busy junction close to St John’s Church in the Greenhill area, just after 9:15 in the evening. Emergency services rushed to the scene after reports that a young man had been attacked and suffered a suspected stab wound. He was quickly taken to hospital for treatment and while his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, the seriousness of the attack has shaken residents and drawn a significant police response.
Officers immediately sealed off key roads in the area, including sections around Dorchester Road and nearby residential streets, as forensic teams began combing the scene for evidence. A police helicopter was also deployed, alongside dog units, as searches were carried out for the suspect who is still at large.
Authorities say no arrests have been made so far and detectives are continuing to piece together the moments leading up to the violence. House-to-house inquiries have been launched and officers remain in the area speaking to witnesses and reviewing any available CCTV footage.
