Police investigating suspected stabbing in Brighton
It happened on Saturday afternoon
Police are appealing for witnesses after a man suffered a suspected stab wound in Brighton on Saturday (13 May).
A 34-year-old man reported being assaulted by a group in Pavilion Gardens shortly before 4.30pm.
He received treatment to an injury to his back thought to be a stab wound.
A report was also received of a fight involving a group of around four people at the basketball court on the seafront near the i360, at 4.23pm, which officers believe may be linked.
Detective Inspector Neil Phillips said: “Both of these incidents took place in the middle of the day during a busy Saturday afternoon.
“We are asking anyone who saw the events unfold, or anything suspicious around that time, to contact police online or via 101, quoting serial 869 of 13/05.
“This is understood to be an isolated incident and I would like to reassure the public that there is no wider risk of harm.”
