A 19-year-old man is in a life threatening condition in hospital after a stabbing in Sheffield.

Police were called out to White Hart Lane in Oughtibridge by the ambulance service at 9:09pm on Sunday after getting reports of a serious assault.

A 19-year-old was apparently stabbed, receiving injuries to his abdomen, and is still in hospital in a life threatening condition.

Detectives also believe an attempted robbery on Knowles Avenue earlier in the day could be linked.

A scene is in place on both roads, and officers are questioning a 20-year-old man on suspicion of affray.

Anyone who may have witnessed either incident or has information or dashcam footage is being urged to come forward.

Officers will be in and around the Stocksbridge area today conducting enquiries. If you have any concerns or questions, or wish to pass on any information please do stop and speak to them.
