Man arrested following stabbing

We have arrested a man after another man was stabbed in Burton-upon-Trent.

At around 12.15am on Tuesday (15 August), we were called to the junction of Wetmore Road and Horninglow Road, after a member of the public reported seeing a man in distress. 

He had suffered serious facial injuries and was taken to hospital. His injuries are believed to be life-changing. 

A 23-year-old man, from Burton, was arrested nearby, on suspicion of attempted murder. 

He has since been released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.
