Police in Southampton are appealing for information after a man was stabbed twice in the stomach in the city.

It happened in Cumbrian Way near it’s junction with Cotswold Road at around 1.30am on Sunday, March 6. Few details are known other than four men were involved in a row and one ended up stabbed. The 25-year-old was treated in hospital for his injuries but has since been allowed home.

The victim was wearing a grey tracksuit and had shaven hair at the time of the attack and had been in a nearby pub prior to the incident. He has told police he can’t remember why he was stabbed or by who.
