A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a 33-year-old man was stabbed on Saturday night in Colchester.
The victim was reportedly walking from Wimpole Road into Barrack Street at about 11.30pm on July 4 when he was assaulted between Rose Kebab and Noodle Express.
He was taken to hospital with stab wounds and was discharged after receiving treatment.
A 22-year-old man from Harlow was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and released on bail until July 27.
