A man is being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing in Preston.
Lancashire Police were called to Blackpool Road, near the fire station, at around 10:45pm yesterday (Sunday 30 April).
The victim, a 22-year-old man, was taken to hospital.
The police say his injuries are serious, but not life-threatening at this time.
Officers think he was stabbed at a property on Ribbleton Avenue shortly before he was found.
A 58-year-old man from Preston was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a 22-year-old man from Preston has been arrested on suspicion of threats to kill and conspiracy to cause criminal damage.
An investigation is underway into the stabbing and reports that windows were smashed at the property on Ribbleton Avenue on Friday - police think the two incidents are linked.
Extra patrols are taking place in the area and anyone with information or concerns is asked to talk to an officer.
Det Insp George Binns, of Preston CID, said:
"This incident has resulted in a man suffering some significant injuries and while we have made two arrests our enquiries are very much ongoing.
"I would appeal to anyone who has any information about what happened last night, or at the address on Thursday, to come forward and speak to us."
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting log 1544 of 30 April.
