Three stabbed at kebab shop Jacqui said was safe

Pools of blood were left on the pavement outside Katie's Kebabs in Peckham after the men were attacked last night.
Ms Smith was criticised in January for revealing she would not venture out alone on the capital's streets after dark.
She tried to ease the row by claiming she had once been to Katie's Kebabs, but the shop owner revealed she had been accompanied by a bodyguard.
Onlookers said last night's confrontation began outside a barber shop next door to the takeaway just before 8pm. It escalated and ended with the three victims collapsing with knife wounds.
Two of the men, aged 29 and 41, were said to be in a stable condition, but a 31-year-old is in a serious condition. A 28-year-old man arrested at the scene is in custody.
The kebab shop was sealed off as forensic science officers began searching for clues. Bloody newspapers and rags were taken away to be tested.
Store manager Hassan Ginel said: "There was a nasty fight outside while the football was on in the shop next door. There was broken glass everywhere."
The 52-year-old added: "Sometimes people around here take toomany drugs and do whatever they want."
An onlooker said: "This just proves the streets are not safe at night, especially if you don't have a bodyguard with you."
Ms Smith said she visited the takeaway in January after saying there were parts of London she would not venture alone after dark. Asked if she would feel safe walking round Hackney, she replied: "Well, no, but I don't think that's a thing that people do, is it, really?"
