Man suffered stab wounds in second Corby knife attack during weekend of violence

It was the second serious knife incident in Corby following a machete attack in Mull Drive, less than a mile away, on Saturday.

Now police have confirmed that the second attack did involve a blade and a man was taken to hospital.

Officers said that, at about 3.20am yesterday (August 4) a fight occurred between two men in the car park next to the Phoenix Public House, which resulted in a man in his 30s sustaining cuts to his ear and a slash wound to his stomach.

The man was taken to hospital but was discharged later yesterday following treatment.

Police do not believe the two attacks are related.
