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
