In a shocking attack this morning, a man was stabbed and many others were wounded.

Officers arrived around 8 a.m. in Bedworth town centre, Warwickshire.

They had got reports of an assault involving “a number of people.”

Police today confirmed that a guy in his twenties had been stabbed and taken to the hospital.

His condition has remained steady.

Ten more individuals were injured, but just slightly, and are assisting cops with their investigation.

Rich Simpkins, a detective sergeant, said: “This was a nasty incident which has left a number of people with injuries and I know this will cause the community great concern.

“The public can expect to see a heightened police presence in and around Bedworth town centre to provide reassurance while our officers continue to conduct their enquiries.

“We have a man in custody and are not looking for any further suspects in connection with this incident.

“We know that a number of people were in the area at around the time of the incident and that there may be more members of the public who may have been approached or assaulted.

“If you were approached or may have witnessed the incident, I would urge you to get in touch.”

In connection with this event, a 33-year-old Bedworth man was arrested and is currently in police custody.

A local grocer told CoventryLive: “A man assaulted people coming from town and supposedly kicked a man’s dog. I heard he pulled a pair of scissors on staff inside a shop and then police Tasered him and arrested him.

“One of our customers was going into the town, the man had a go at him, then they came back up here covered in blood.”
