Detectives are appealing for information after a man was stabbed, during a fight which took place in Fratton Road, at the junction with Lucknow Street.
At 1.15pm on Friday, September 9, a 24-year-old man from Fratton became involved in a fight with two other men. The man was stabbed twice in his buttocks, and the two men ran away.
A witness saw the two men discard the knife, which has now been recovered by police.
