COPS are hunting for a gang of men wearing all black after a 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death at a bus station.
Thomas Taylor was walking along Greenhill Street in Bedford when he was attacked at 5.50pm yesterday by a “group of males”.
He suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later, said cops.
Bedfordshire Police said the offenders made off towards Hassett Street and Greyfriars car park.
The “group of males” were also described as wearing dark clothing, said the force.
Detective Chief Inspector Katie Dounias from the Major Crime Unit leading the investigation said: “This is an absolutely shocking incident in which a teenage boy has been stabbed to death in a busy town centre.
“We have a dedicated team of detectives working on this investigation and supporting Thomas’s family at this incredibly difficult time for them.
“I would urge anyone who saw what happened or has any information to come forward and speak to police and help us bring those responsible to justice.
“We’re aware that there are images and videos circulating on social media, please refrain from sharing any such clips and instead contact police.”
