A sixth teenager has been arrested after a man was found with a stab wound.

Police said a 17-year-old boy from Southampton was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent and affray, making it the sixth arrest in connection with a reported altercation in Thornhill on Thursday.

Officers found an 18-year-old man with a stab wound to his torso. He was taken to hospital for treatment.

All six teenagers have been released from custody under strict bail conditions, Hampshire Constabulary said.

The victim was found shortly after 21:00 BST on 22 August, near the green area between Byron Road, Gerard Crescent and Burke Drive.

Police received a second call just after 23:00 BST, relating to the welfare of a 19-year-old man at an address on Boswell Close, who later attended hospital for treatment for a hand injury.

The force said it believed the reports were linked and had arrested five teenagers from Southampton - three 17-year-old boys, a 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl.

It appealed to anyone who had details of the incident to get in touch.
