A MAN has been arrested after a 34-year-old man was stabbed on Canvey last month.

It happened in Hassell Road on the evening of Thursday, January 28.

A 29-year-old from Canvey was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm yesterday, and has been bailed pending further police enquiries until Sunday, April 17.

Officers were called by ambulance paramedics to reports that the man had suffered several stab wounds following a confrontation with a group of men in a white BMW 1 Series.

The victim was taken to hospital in London for treatment to his wounds which are not considered life changing.

Officers are continuing to appeal for witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to call Rayleigh CID on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
