Detectives are appealing for witnesses and information after a man was seriously injured at a music festival in St Albans.

Police were called at around 8.40pm on Sunday 14 August to reports that a man was seriously injured at Sun City Outdoor Festival - held at Herts Showground in Dunstable Road.

It was reported that there was a large fight, during which a man in his 30s sustained a stab wound.

He was taken to hospital for treatment and has since been discharged.

Detective Constable Adam Haines, who is leading the investigation, said: “Though the injury was serious and left the victim requiring hospital treatment, thankfully it was not considered life-changing or life-threatening. Our investigation has been progressing, but we still believe there are other people we have not spoken to, who may have information that can help us further.

“This was a busy event, with an estimated 4,000 people in attendance, and as such I believe that several people may have witnessed this incident taking place or have information or video footage that could assist with our investigation. If you do, please get in touch as soon as possible.

“Any information, even something that may seem relatively minor or insignificant, could be key to progressing our investigation.”
