A third arrest has been made in connection with a stabbing in Gloucester Memorial Park.

The 18-year-old from Gloucester handed himself in to police last night (Monday) and was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.

He remains in police custody for questioning in connection with the assault.

It's after a 20-year-old man suffered a stab wound to his leg. The victim has since been discharged from hospital.

Two men, a 19-year-old and a 20-year-old who are both from Cheltenham, had been arrested last week on suspicion of affray and were later released on police bail and enquiries continue.
