A man has been arrested after another man was cut on the arm in an assault at a house in Leicestershire.

Police said officers were called to the property, in Wickham Road, Oadby, shortly after 15:00 GMT on Wednesday.

A 20-year-old man suffered an injury which was not life-threatening or life-changing, the force said.

A police spokeswoman said: "During the incident the man was cut on the arm with what is believed to have been a flick knife.

"Before leaving the address, it is also reported the suspect stole jewellery and a games console."

Detectives said the two men were believed to know each other and inquiries were continuing.
