An investigation is underway after a 19-year-old man was stabbed at Alexandra Road retail park yesterday afternoon.
The victim was taken to hospital with serious injuries and he and his family are being supported.
A scene remains in place at the retail park and some of the surrounding areas, with a large police presence as police continue to collect evidence.
Inspector Andrew Clayton said: “We understand this incident is shocking and took place in a very public space.
“There have been no arrests so far, but enquiries, such as CCTV trawls, are ongoing to determine who is responsible. At this stage, we do believe the attack to be an isolated incident involving those known to one another.
“We have spoken to a number of witnesses so far, but would encourage anyone who believes they have any information or dash cam footage which could assist our investigation, particularly that which may help us identify the perpetrators, to come forward.
“You can do this be speaking to officers on the ground, by calling 101 or contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you would prefer to remain anonymous.”
