Appeal for witnesses following stabbing in Crawley

Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was arrested in connection with a stabbing in Crawley.

Emergency services were called to an address in Barley Close on Wednesday (27 September) at about 12pm, where a 19-year-old man sustained a leg wound.

He was taken to hospital with injuries which were not deemed to be life threatening, where he remains.

A 46-year-old man, of no fixed address, was arrested on suspicion of committing grievous bodily harm and has been released on conditional bail until 21 December while the investigation continues.

It is believed to be an isolated incident which does not pose a wider risk to the public.

Witnesses or anyone with relevant information or footage should contact Sussex Police online or call 101 quoting serial 578 of 27/09.
