Police were called to reports a man had been found with a stab wound in Bloomfield Road at around 10.45pm on Sunday, February 28.

Emergency services attended the scene and a 19-year-old boy was taken to hospital for treatment.

Two men were arrested a short time later on Central Drive in connection with the incident.
