An investigation is underway after a 19-year-old man was stabbed at Alexandra Road retail park on Sunday afternoon.
The victim was taken to hospital with serious injuries at around 3.25pm.
Police cordoned off the area as they pieced together the events and collected evidence.
Inspector Andrew Clayton said: “We understand this incident is shocking and took place in a very public space.
“There have been no arrests so far, but enquiries, such as CCTV trawls, are ongoing to determine who is responsible. At this stage, we do believe the attack to be an isolated incident involving those known to one another.
“We have spoken to a number of witnesses so far, but would encourage anyone who believes they have any information or dash cam footage which could assist our investigation, particularly that which may help us identify the perpetrators, to come forward. You can do this by speaking to officers on the ground, by calling 101 or contacting Crimestoppers if you would prefer to remain anonymous.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting log 1757 of 30/03/25 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
