Four more arrests have been made by police investigating a stabbing.

The stabbing happened in the Royal Avenue and Queen's Parade area of Bath shortly after 21:00 GMT on 14 January.

Police said a 16-year-old boy from Wiltshire, a 16-year-old girl from Bath, an 18-year-old woman from Bath and 22-year-old man from Bristol have been arrested and released on bail.

A 17-year old, who was arrested on 16 January, has also been released on bail.

"We're still keen for witnesses to contact us," an Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said.

The victim, aged 18, who was being treated for chest and leg injuries, was taken to Southmead Hospital with "potentially life-changing injuries" but has since been discharged.

A 20-year-old man also injured in the attack was taken to Royal United Hospitals Bath where he was treated before being discharged.

Three were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to case GBH with intent, while the 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and GBH.
