"Officers are in the area working with local residents and businesses to gather information, retrieve vital CCTV footage and provide reassurance to those living and working locally.

"We take knife crime extremely seriously and are committed to stopping those that carry knives and offensive weapons.”

The man remains in hospital in a serious condition, where he has already undergone surgery.
