Three arrested following stabbing in Eastleigh

Officers investigating the serious assault of a man in Eastleigh have made three arrests.

We were called at 11.23pm on Thursday 31 October to reports that an 18-year-old man had been located with a stab wound to his abdomen on Shorts Road.

He was taken to hospital where he remains at the current time with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Following a thorough initial investigation we have arrested three people in connection to this incident.

A 16-year-old male from Bishopstoke has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and possession with intent to supply cannabis.

A 15-year-old male from Bishopstoke has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

A 34-year-old male from Chandler's Ford has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

They remain in custody at this time.

We are continuing to appeal for witnesses to come forward.

We believe there were a number of people in the Shorts Road and New Century Park area who likely saw what happened, and we would really like to hear from them.

We would also like to hear from anyone who was driving through the area at the time and has dash cam footage that may assist our investigation. Or perhaps you live locally and have Ring Doorbell or CCTV cameras that may have captured something?
