Residents have expressed their shock in the aftermath of the incident.
Anna MacKenzie-Jones, who lives on Oatlands, said: “There was some commotion in the street and then I heard shouting and swearing and looked out the window and saw that there’s been a stabbing.
“I think it’s a shock in that it’s a quiet neighbourhood and you wouldn’t expect it to happen somewhere like Romsey.”
Another resident, who asked not to be named, said: “I’m a bit shaky because it’s a bit close to home. You just think these things don’t happen in Romsey, but of course, they happen everywhere.”
