Two more people have been arrested in connection with a stabbing in Oxford on February 12.
A 24-year-old man and a 21-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and have been released on bail until April 26. A 23-year-old man previously arrested in connection with the incident was released on police bail until March 15.
The 22-year-old victim suffered multiple stab wounds to his arm and stomach during the incident, which is now known to have happened at about 1am in St Clement’s Street. Investigating officer Det Con Craig Burchall, of Force CID in Oxford, said: “We now know there was a large disturbance involving at least five men, which originated in York Place and moved into St Clement's Street at about 1am.
“There are thought to have been a number of pedestrians in the area who saw the incident, and there were a number of vehicles in the area at the time. Several witnesses have already come forward, but I am appealing to anyone who saw men fighting in this area around the time of the incident, or anyone with information which could help the inquiry, to come forward.
“The victim is recovering from his injuries and he remains at the John Radcliffe Hospital in a stable condition.”
Anyone with any information should call police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
