00:00In Gillingham, a man has been taken to hospital after reports of a stabbing on Mill Road shortly before 12pm.
00:06Armed officers were later seen arresting a man in connection with the incident while crowds cheered on.
00:15So I arrived here at around 10 to 1 this afternoon where there was police tape cornering off the area
00:21and more than 100 students lined up looking on to what's happening.
00:25They've now all gone back to college, but now the police are carrying out their investigations and collecting evidence.
00:33Well, when we first got here, we were actually on that side over there.
00:37And we heard people saying there was someone who got stabbed, but then later on we came over here because
00:41we were trying to get lunch.
00:43And we saw that, well, a bunch of police cars came, there were about 10 of them.
00:47And then the people inside the house kept opening the windows, which I'm assuming was to talk to the police
00:54officers outside.
00:55At one point, someone opened the side door and spoke to some officers on the side.
01:00And then after like 50 minutes, this boy finally came out of the house and then they put him against
01:06the wall and started patting him down and stuff.
01:08And then what I assume was his mum came out afterwards in like a dressing gown.
01:12There was obviously a stabbing and then we saw the SWAT team breach the house.
01:17And some guy was like getting arrested and got put in the car.
01:22And then we saw, I think it was the mother, I assume, getting walked out as well.
01:27In a statement, Kemp Police said that they were called to Mill Road, Gillingham at 11.48am on Wednesday, the
01:3418th of March, 2026, following reports of an assault.
01:56So while locals and students get to grips with the incident, many I spoke to seem disappointed but not surprised
02:04that it has happened.
