Residents have been reacting to news that a social worker has been stabbed to death on their "quiet" Preston street.
Lancashire Police have launched a murder probe after the man died while visiting a Preston home.

Police were called to Glebe Close in Fulwood, close to the old Sharoe Green Hospital site, following reports of a knife attack on Monday morning.

Local resident Martin Hooper, 24, said: "I have lived here for two years and it is very quiet.

"I know the house next door to me is a carer's house. My partner rang up and was worried to bring our children home.

"It is horrible to have this happen to a neighbour."

A mum-of-four, who did not wish to be named, said: "There were four police vans and my 10-year-old son came in to tell me that there were police swarming all over Glebe Close."
