Police appeal after man stabbed in Blackpool

Police are appealing for witnesses after an assault in Blackpool in which a man was stabbed.​

They were called by the North West Ambulance Service to Central Drive at around 1.40am on Monday (October, 10).

It was reported two masked men, carrying weapons, had entered a flat and assaulted the victim, a man in his 40s, leaving him with multiple stab injuries.​

He was taken to hospital where he is recovering.​

DI Jill Vescovi, of West Division, said: “This is a serious assault which has left a man with some nasty injuries.​

“An investigation is very much underway to establish exactly what has occurred and I would ask anyone with CCTV or doorbell footage which captures the assault or anybody acting suspiciously in the area to contact police as soon as possible.​

“Although this is being treated as an isolated incident, patrols have been increased in the area to provide reassurance.”​

Anyone with information should call 101, quoting log number 58 of October 10, 2022. Alternatively, you can email forcecontrolroom@lancashire.police.uk
