A man remains in hospital after being found by police officers with slashes to his face and back last night (January 18).
Northumbria Police received reports of an assault on Gloucester Road, Elswick, Newcastle, at around 8.40pm yesterday, and discovered a man, aged 35, to have suffered non-life threatening injuries “consistent with having been caused by a bladed article”.
The man was rushed to hospital and is reported to be in a stable condition, and police believe all those involved were known to one another. It comes as police have also cordoned off an area in Sovereign Place.
