Man seriously injured after being attacked in Gloucester
It happened around 9.30 last night on Shakespeare Avenue.
A cyclist's been injured after what police have called a 'serious incident' in Gloucester.
It happened around 9.30 last night - when the cyclist was involved in a collision with a car on Shakespeare Avenue.
The occupants of a nearby second vehicle then attacked the cyclist with weapons.
The victim, a 27 year-old man, sustained several stab wounds and was taken to hospital with serious injuries - anyone with information is being urged to contact police.
It is believed that the vehicles involved were a dark 4x4 and light-coloured saloon.
Detective Inspector Paula Hannaford said: "We're in the early stages of an investigation and at this time we believe that this likely was not a random attack on a stranger.
"We are working to establish what has happened and the reasons behind this.
"Enquiries are ongoing and we are keen to hear from anyone who has not already made contact with police and may have information which could help.
"I'm particularly keen to hear from anyone who saw the vehicles involved either prior to or after the attack, and who may have dashcam or CCTV footage.
"Anyone who has information, regardless of how small they feel it may be, is urged to please come forward."
