We are appealing for information after a stabbing in Luton left a man seriously injured.

Officers were called to the scene in Downs Road just before 2.30am today (Tuesday). A man in his 30s was taken to hospital, where he remains in a serious, but stable condition. 

The road was closed for a short time whilst initial enquiries were carried out but has since re-opened. 

Detective Inspector Kim Caddy, investigating, said: “Although this incident happened in the early hours of the morning, we are still appealing to anyone who witnessed it or has any doorbell footage to get it contact with us as soon as possible as this may help our ongoing enquiries. 

“We understand this will have caused some concern in the community, but I would like to reassure the public that we are doing all we can to investigate the circumstances around this incident.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact police via 101 quoting CAD 25 of 23 April, our webchat service or our online reporting tool .
