WARDEN IN STAB DRAMA

Blade goes straight through hand in horror attack

 A TRAFFIC warden on his rounds escaped death or serious injury yesterday morning (Thursday) when he parried a knife aimed for his chest.
The 40-year-old Westminster Council parking attendant, employed by contractors NCP, was working in the Ladbrook Grove area when two motorcyclists drove up and began to verbally abuse him.
One then came towards him with a knife and aimed to stab him in the chest. The 40-year-old parking warden raised his hands to defend himself and the knife went straight through the palm of his left hand.
His attackers fled and horrified onlookers called the police and an ambulance. He is now in hospital recovering.
Union chiefs have accused Westminster Council of managing an aggressive parking policy which puts wardens at risk.
