Officers investigating the stabbing just after 3pm on Sunday (May 6) in Dumfries Street are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

The victim’s injuries, although serious, are not said to be life threatening.

The second man was wearing a blue Adidas tracksuit top, a grey cap and dark grey jeans. A third man is described as wearing all grey clothing.
