Officers investigating a serious assault in Basingstoke have arrested another man – bringing the total number of those arrested in connection with the incident to three.

We were called at 6.40pm on 13 January to a report that a man in his 20s had been stabbed on Churchill Way. He was taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries.

Since this was reported to us, officers have been carrying out various enquiries and made their third arrest yesterday (8 April).

A 19-year-old man from Aldershot was arrested on suspicion of wounding / inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent.

He remains in custody while our enquiries continue.

It comes after officers arrested two other men as part of their investigation.

He was bailed with conditions until 24 April, pending further enquiries.

In February, a man from London, now aged 28, was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to cause grievous bodily harm with intent.
