Three teens arrested after double stabbing in park

Police are appealing for anyone with dashcam footage to come forward

Three teenagers have been arrested after two boys, both aged 15, were stabbed in a park.

Lancashire Police said a 14-year-old boy had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and affray, while a 15-year-old boy had been detained on suspicion of wounding and affray. The force said a third boy, also 15, had been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

The alleged assaults happened at about 16:00 BST on Monday, near Moor Park on Blackpool Road in Preston.

One of the injured boys is in a serious but stable condition while the others' injuries are "less serious", said a force spokesman.

Police said the three suspects, who are all from Preston, remained in custody.

Det Ch Insp Sean Kelly-Martland said: "This incident has left a young man with some very significant injuries.

"While we have now made a number of arrests as part of our investigation, I would continue to appeal to anyone who may have seen what happened - or who has any information or footage which may assist us - to get in touch."

He added: "We are particularly interested in seeing any dashcam or CCTV footage of Blackpool Road and Moor Park Avenue between 3.30pm and 4.15pm."

He said patrols had been increased in the area.
