"All I heard was a man shout really loudly," the 30-year-old recalled. "It was a really loud scream, I think there was a car there and the door was open.
"It sounded like someone got stabbed, that's the kind of scream it was. I said to my partner it sounded like someone had been stabbed."
Ms Cawley said around seven police vehicles and an ambulance were at the scene and officers remained for hours. "There were police cars down the road and officers walking up and down, I saw someone get taken in an ambulance," she added.
Another resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said her grandad had been drinking at the British Legion, located on Donington Road, at the time. "My mum was worried as she heard someone had been stabbed," she said.
