As most of you will now be aware, a 17-year-old girl was stabbed in the back of the neck in broad daylight on Wood Street, Brierfield, near Burnley yesterday afternoon.
Lancashire Police were called at 3:06pm following reports of an assault. Armed officers attended and arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder shortly after arriving at the scene.
The teenager was taken to hospital. Her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
No charge has yet been confirmed. Lancashire Police are appealing for witnesses and anyone with CCTV or doorbell camera footage to come forward.
A force spokesperson said extra patrols would be in the area to provide reassurance.
This is a developing story. Look out for an update on the suspects background and visa status if released.
@Suffragent_ There is zero evidence of that charlatan ever being a plumber other than delivering a couple of bogs to a place in Trafford Hannah the Leftie Loon.
