Gunshot victim survived stabbing

Second attack for ‘Man Mountain’

THE victim of a shooting in Camden Town is understood to have survived a near-fatal stabbing just two years ago.
Kevin Williams, 30, was last night (Wednesday) said to be in a non-life threatening condition in hospital. Doctors say he is in a “serious but stable” condition.
He is thought to have been the victim of a shooting near Bayham Street, Camden Town, last Saturday.
Police are investigating links between reports of gunfire in nearby Plender Street on the same day.
Mr Williams needed major surgery in 2006 when he was stabbed repeatedly in a knife attack at a newsagent’s shop in Queen’s Crescent.
His attacker was later jailed for attempted murder after a court was told how a row involving a woman had sparked a dispute.
A police spokesman confirmed a 30-year-old man had sustained a gunshot wound.
He said an open mind was being kept in relation to a motive for the shooting.
Mr Williams is a former pupil of Acland Burghley Secondary School in Tufnell Park and is known among old school mates as a “Man Mountain” and one of the “toughest men in the universe”.
