Detectives are investigating after a man was stabbed in Cannock.
Police were called just before 7.30pm on Saturday (23 July) to reports of a 20-year-old man with serious injuries to his legs.
He had been approached by a group of around five men in Mill Green Nature Reserve sometime between 6.30pm and 7.20pm. Following a confrontation, he was stabbed several times.
The victim made it to Eastern Way, where he was helped by members of the public before being taken to hospital. He is currently in a stable condition.
Enquiries are on-going and we are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time, witnessed the incident or noticed a group acting suspiciously.
Anyone with any information or relevant dashcam footage is asked to message Staffordshire Police on Facebook or Twitter quoting incident number 731 of 23 July, call 101 or alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
