Eight people have been arrested after a man was found stabbed in Fleetwood in the early hours of Saturday 3 June.



At around 2.40am emergency services found a 21-year-old man unresponsive on Stanley Road having suffered a single stab wound to his abdomen.

He was taken to Royal Preston Hospital where he remains in a serious condition.

Detectives are trying to trace the man's footsteps and are asking any witnesses to come forward.

DI Gareth Willis from Blackpool Police said: "We think that the victim is likely to have been attacked at an address on Addison Road and so we need anyone who may have seen or heard a disturbance in that area, which is near to the fire station, to get in touch with us as soon as possible. A young man is in hospital and we need to know how he has come about this serious injury."

Officers have arrested eight people -two boys aged 16, a man aged 21, three girls aged 16 and two others aged 17 - on suspicion of assault (GBH). They are currently in police custody.
