A murder probe has been launched after a BMW convertible driver was chased down the street and stabbed to death in a shocking afternoon attack.
The 23-year-old was found collapsed and suffering from stab wounds in Turnpike Lane at around 2.20pm on Wednesday.
Despite paramedics battling to save his life, the man was pronounced dead at the scene around an hour later.
Downhills Park Road and nearby Ivatt Way were both cordoned off by police as they combed the scene for evidence.
Officers spent Thursday morning carrying out door-to-door enquiries and seizing CCTV footage.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Bonner said it appeared the man had initially been attacked after arriving in Ivatt Way in a silver BMW convertible.
Appealing for witnesses, he said: “Were you in Ivatt Way yesterday afternoon and saw the car arrive? I am keen to establish exactly what time he arrived there and why.
"We then believe the victim ran from the car and into Downhills Park Road, possibly being chased by the suspect.
“If you were in the area and saw anything please get in contact with us."
