Appeal following stabbing
Main article content
We are appealing for information following a stabbing in Stoke-on-Trent.
We were called at 10am today (Friday 16 October) to Deakin Road in Chell Heath following reports of a disturbance.
Officers attended the scene and found the victim, a man in his 20s, with stab injuries not thought to be life-threatening or life-changing.
A boy, described as 16-years-old, of a slim build with long brown hair, had ran off from the scene.
Officers thoroughly searched the area alongside colleagues from the National Police Air Service (NPAS) but nobody matching the description was found.
Officers remain at the scene carrying out enquiries.
We are appealing for anyone with doorbell, dashcam or CCTV footage of the area at the time to contact us. Call 101, quoting incident 213 of 16 October, or use Live Chat on our website.
To report anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
