Tasha Collins, who has lived in the area for 14 years, said she tried to save the schoolboy as he lay in the road outside her flat.
The 43-year-old said: “I was upstairs in my bedroom, I had my nightshirt on, I heard screaming from across the road saying ‘someone’s been stabbed, someone’s been stabbed’.
“So, I grabbed a sheet, I had no shoes or socks on or anything, and I just literally ran to where just near where the tent is, and there was someone laying face down on the floor.
I turned him over, he had a gash in his head and I thought ‘that’s not bleeding enough’.
“His leg moved and there was a massive pool of blood, so I just stemmed the flow of blood until the paramedics got here.
“I asked if I could go and shower because I was covered in his blood, and they said ‘yes’ so I went in and showered.
“I came back out and they (the police) called me over because I was the last one with him – he was going to me ‘I’m 15, don’t let me die’ and I said to him ‘you’re not going to die, mate’.”
