Third arrest after Kettering stabbing

A third person has been arrested after a man was stabbed in the neck in Kettering last week.

The victim, a man in his 40s, has since been discharged from hospital and is "recovering well" after the stabbing in Fishton Close on the Highfield estate at about 6.20pm on Friday night.

Officers were called after a fight between four people left the man with serious injuries and the area was taped off.

A 48-year-old Corby man has now been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and has been released on police bail.

At the weekend 37-year-old Andros Baker Allen, of Newark Drive in Corby, was charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a bladed article.

He appeared before magistrates in Northampton on Monday and was remanded in custody.

A 56-year-old Kettering man also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender earlier this week remains on bail.

Anyone with information about the attack should call police on 101.
