Wiltshire Police has launched an investigation into a violent stabbing in Swindon.
Emergency services were called to an address in Frobisher Drive, Walcot, at approximately 2.30pm on Friday afternoon (9 September).
Two ambulances, an ambulance rapid response vehicle and up to ten police vehicles were spotted attending the serious incident.
A witness told Wiltshire 999s that CCTV captured the man being chased into a back garden, where he was repeatedly stabbed – possibly as many as three times.
The balaclava-clad suspect took the victim’s electric scooter, before fleeing the scene. Police are yet to make any arrests in connection with the robbery.

The National Police Air Service helicopter from Bristol spent time circling the Walcot and Parks area following the incident.
