"He had made his own way to hospital and is being treated for a non-life threating wound (suspected stab wound)."

Officers cordoned off the area before it reopened later.

Nub News understands that the victim is not currently engaging with officers

Anyone with information is asked to contact police quoting ISR 0566 of 22/10.
