A CHRISTMAS reveller was taken to hospital after twice being stabbed in the back at a town centre pub.
The man, in his 30s, was drinking in The Bull, in Camps Road, Haverhill, when he was involved in an altercation. After an exchange of words with a customer, the man was stabbed in the back.
He was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, where his injuries were said to be "not serious". He was released from hospital and was last night believed to be recovering at home.
A police spokesman said detectives had interviewed several people who witnessed the stabbing, which took place just after 8.30pm on Sunday.
However, officers were keen to speak to anyone who saw the incident or might have information about the attacker.
