A man has been stabbed during an assault in Wokingham.

Police were called to an address in Norton Road at around 1:30am on Saturday morning (26 June), following reports of a disturbance.

The 37 year old victim was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

A 40-year-old woman from Wokingham was arrested on suspicion of Section 18 grievous bodily harm with intent and has since been released on conditional police bail until 17 July.

Investigating officer Detective Constable David Hill, of the Domestic Abuse Investigation Unit based at Reading police station, said: "I would like to appeal to anybody who was in the vicinity of Norton Road or Denmark Street at around 1.30am on Saturday morning and who witnessed this incident to please contact 101, quoting reference number 43210281084.

"Similarly, if anybody has any CCTV footage, again, please get in touch with us.

"This was very much an isolated incident and the offender and victim are believed to be known to each other, and there is no wider threat to the local community."
