We have launched an investigation after a man was stabbed in Blackpool.
We were called by the ambulance service at shortly after 12am today (Tuesday, October 28th) following the assault at the junction of Stan Mortensen Avenue and Princess Street in the resort.
A man in his 30s was attacked by at least three offenders and suffered a number of stab wounds. He was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious condition.
An inquiry has been launched but no arrests have been made at this stage.
We are appealing to anyone with information or who saw what happened or has any CCTV, Ring doorbell or mobile footage to get in touch.
Det Insp Jill Vescovi, of the Force Major Investigation Team, said: “This assault has left a man with some very serious injuries, and an investigation is underway to try and establish the circumstances and to arrest the people responsible.
“I am keen to speak to anyone who might have information about what happened or who is responsible. If you saw the assault itself or anyone acting suspiciously in the area before the attack I would like to hear from you. I would also ask anyone who has any footage to come forward.
“I appreciate hearing about this incident may concern people in the community, but we have a team of officers and staff working hard to piece together what has happened.
“You may see extra officers out and about in the area over the next day or two so if you have any information or concerns please do feel free to speak to them.”
If you can help, please call us on 101 quoting log 0011 of Oct 28th.
