Three people have been arrested after a man was stabbed twice in the Twerton area of Bath on Thursday evening, 29th September.
The 18-year-old victim sustained two stab wounds to his leg, at around 6.50pm in Highland Road.
He received hospital treatment and has since been discharged. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.
Two boys, aged 15 and 16, were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.
A 39-year-old woman was also been arrested on conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm.
It is believed to be an isolated incident and officers believe the victim and suspects are known to each other.
Neighbourhood Chief Inspector Ronnie Lungu said: “Fortunately the physical injuries sustained by the victim in this case are not believed to be life-threatening, but the dangers knives pose is time and time again all too apparent. Knife crime can kill.
“We would like to reassure the community that we are taking this matter very seriously and at this time we believe this is an isolated incident.
“Officers are conducting house-to-house and CCTV enquiries and are interviewing potential witnesses.
“As a precaution, we have increased high-visibility reassurance patrols in the area and encourage anyone with information they believe may be connected to last night’s incident, to get in touch.
“We would like to also recognise and thank residents for their patience during our investigation.”
