[MP Sir David Amess has been stabbed in
major incident at his constituency surgery in Leigh.
The Tory MP for Southend West, 69,
was holding a surgery at the
Belfairs Methodist Church,
in Eastwood Road North.

A knifeman is understood to have run into the
building wielding a knife before attacking the veteran politician.

Horrified constituents waiting to see him
and staff witnessed the stabbing and
quickly called police who rushed to the scene.

One person posted online: 'David Amess Southend MP
stabbed in Belfairs Methodist church Eastwood
road literally as I was outside the building.'

Another posted: 'Something big going
on outside Belfairs Methodist Church on
Eastwood Road North near the Woodcutters.'

It is believed Sir David has been receiving
treatment at the scene for his injuries.
Earlier this year he spoke out about
anti-social behaviour and knife crime.]
