Fearless bus passengers chased boy ‘after he stabbed schoolgirl, 15, with zombie knife’

The “much-loved” victim, named as ‘Eliyanna’ in numerous tributes at the scene, died after being stabbed in the neck with a foot-long zombie knife during yesterday’s morning rush hour in Croydon

Fearless bus passengers chased after a teenage boy after he allegedly stabbed a 15-year-old schoolgirl to death.

The “much-loved” victim, named as ‘Eliyanna’ in numerous tributes at the scene, died after being stabbed in the neck with a large knife during yesterday’s morning rush hour in Croydon, south London, a witness said. A 17-year-old boy, who knew the victim, was arrested just over an hour after the attack which took place on busy Wellesley Road at around 8.30am.

Security worker Victor Asare said blood ran “like water” and members of the public rushed to help after the stabbing. He said: “The blood was coming like water. A lot of people came, everyone came off the bus. (The suspect) ran away. Everybody was crying and screaming. The girl was on the floor.

“We tried to catch him and a lot of people tried to save the girl. I was so shocked, I was shaken. It’s somebody’s daughter. I finished work but couldn’t sleep, so came back, I wanted to see if the girl was OK.” Mr Asare said the girl looked as if she “didn’t want the boy to come closer” before she was stabbed in the neck with a knife that was “black, thin and about a foot long”.
