Appeal for witnesses after suspected stabbing in Cheltenham last week

Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a suspected stabbing in Cheltenham last week.

Emergency services were called to an address in the St Mark's area at around 1.05pm on Wednesday 4 February with a report that a man had been assaulted and sustained serious injuries.

The incident is reported to have taken place between 12.56pm and 1pm on Princess Elizabeth Way, between Cowper Road and Shelley Road.
