Third arrest after man stabbed in fight

Two men have already been charged in relation to the incident

A third man has been arrested after a man was stabbed in the hand during a fight.

Armed officers made the arrest at around 11:10 BST today on All Saints Road, Gloucester, the same street the attack happened in on Tuesday.

A man in his 30s has been taken into police custody.

Two men in their 20s had already been arrested in connection with the fight involving "a group of men" and have now been charged.

A 26-year-old Gloucester man was charged with violent disorder, possession of an air weapon, possession of a bladed article, two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and acquiring, using or possessing criminal property.

A 28-year-old man of no fixed abode has been charged with violent disorder and possession of a bladed article.

Both were remanded in police custody and will appear at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court today.

Increased police activity

One of the men involved in the fight was taken to hospital for stab wounds to the hand. He has since been discharged, but will will need continued treatment for his injuries.

Gloucester Police officers said it was not believed that the incident was linked to an assault in Worcester Street last night.

Inspector Nick Cook said: "We're aware there have been several very visible violent incidents, as well as police activity, in this community this week.

"There will be an increased presence of neighbourhood officers patrolling the Barton and Tredworth area over the next few days and I would ask anyone with concerns to engage with those officers.
