Police appeal for information following a stabbing in Exeter

Detectives are currently investigating reports of a stabbing which happened in the Newcourt area of Exeter, in the early hours of this morning.

Police were notified just after midnight to reports that a man had been stabbed in the leg on Blakeslee Drive.

The victim was taken to hospital. His injuries are serious but not believed to be life-threatening.

The two suspects made off from the scene and are currently outstanding. They were described as male, wearing face coverings and dressed in dark clothing, and were using electric scooters prior to the incident.
