Bedfordshire police officers investigating a stabbing in Dunstable over the weekend are appealing for information.

Police were called at around 4am on Sunday (16 August) to Eleanor’s Cross following reports that a man had been stabbed.

A man in his 20s was taken to hospital with serious injuries, not believed to be life-threatening, where he remains in a stable condition.

Detective Inspector Scott Fowler, investigating, said: “We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time, or who has CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage that may support our ongoing enquiries.

“There is no place for knife crime or violence in our communities. We would urge anyone with information to contact us – even the smallest detail could prove vital to our investigation.”
