A one-year-old boy is in a critical condition after he and his mother were stabbed in a knife attack in Feltham, West London. One neighbour heard children shouting "don't kill my mum" as the horrific double stabbing unfolded. Neighbours were told by police to lock their doors as officers scoured the streets for the attacker, who police say lived at the home where the attack took place. An air ambulance landed at a school close to the scene, and witnesses said armed officers descended on the estate. The baby boy is said to be critical in hospital while his mum, in her 30s, is not believed to be in a life-threatening condition. Police said enquiries are underway to trace a man who was known to live at the address. A large blood smear could be seen on the white wall at the entrance of a terrace house in Swinfield Close.

The 35-year-old said they saw a paramedic cradling the baby, adding: "The police officers were getting distressed - one was crying as well because of what he had seen and his colleagues were consoling him. "I was shocked to see it myself." Another neighbour, who did not wish to be named, told the Daily Mirror: “I was at home with my granddaughter and all of a sudden I’m hearing helicopters and police. I’ve lived here 30 years and never heard anything like it. “I saw the woman coming down on a hospital trolley, she looked out of it. She was covered in blood. “Then the air ambulance landed. “Another two young children were shouting 'don’t kill my mum, don’t kill my mum' when it happened. “What kind of a man does that to a baby or a woman, especially a baby. Hopefully they catch him soon." A neighbour told GetWestLondon: “I live right where it happened. We have been told by police to stay in and lock doors as a man is still on the loose. “The estate is taped off, and there is an armed response present.” One witness told Sky News: "I heard a lot of screaming and crying, it was quite distressing to hear." Neighbour Gary Fletcher, 63, said two boys aged around six and next door neighbours of the victims witnessed their injuries. He said: "They ran out screaming. "One was pointing to his stomach so I presume he saw the stabbing."

Myrtle Cantwell, 62, who has lived on the estate for 38 years, said: "The air ambulance was hovering and there was lots of police. "The police came by and banged on the door where it happened. The lady next door came out and ushered them in. "I could see the police vans and the sirens but I stayed indoors."
