A MAN remains in a critical condition in hospital after being found stabbed in a residential street in Upminster on Saturday night.

The 42-year-old man had been stabbed in the chest.

He was found next to his parked car in Gaynes Park Road by three members of the public who put in the 999 call around 8.30pm Saturday night, October 2.

Police believe it may have been an attempted murder.

The quiet street was closed to traffic overnight and a tent put up to protect the spot where the man was found.

Specialist police crews were called in to investigate the scene for evidence.

The blue and white tent remained in place until well into the afternoon on Sunday.

The injured man was taken to an east London hospital by ambulance crews were he remains in a critical but stable condition.

A 37-year-old woman has been arrested in relation to the incident and remains in custody.
