A man was stabbed in the back during an assault in Luton on Christmas Eve.
The incident happened between 11pm and 11.30pm as the 20-year-old victim was walking between Waldeck Road and Highbury Road, in Bury Park.
He was approached from behind by a group of four or five men of Asian appearance, and one of them stabbed him twice. The victim then ran away while the offenders fled in a different direction.
He was left with two wounds, each measuring around two inches, and was taken to the Luton & Dunstable Hospital for treatment.
