Police have launched an attempted murder investigation after a man was found with life-threatening stab wounds in Middlesbrough.

At around 2.40pm on Wednesday, April 30, Cleveland Police received reports of a man seen walking while seriously injured on Linthorpe Road.

Initial reports indicated that the man had been stabbed in Albert Park near the fountain. However, police now believe the incident actually took place inside a property, and not in the park as first thought.
