At around 9.30pm, the victim was walking along Marsh Road when he was approached from behind by three men on bikes all wearing balaclavas, who demanded to know where he was from.

He was then stabbed in the arm and abdomen with an unknown implement, but he managed to run to McDonald’s.

They followed him for a short while before making off on their bikes towards Bramingham Road.

The victim required hospital treatment for his injuries, which aren’t believed to be life-threatening.
