Rugby stabbing: Man critically injured in attack

A man is in a critical condition in hospital after being stabbed in Rugby, police have said.

The victim, who is in his 20s, was taken to hospital after being found in Balcombe Road at 12:20 GMT on Sunday.

Warwickshire Police said he had been stabbed twice and his injuries were life-threatening.

Two men and a boy, all from Rugby, have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. The force said the trio, aged 15, 19 and 21, remained in custody.

A black Volkswagen was seen leaving the scene at the time of the attack. A cordon has since been set up.

Det Supt Suzanne Baker said: "This was a terrifying incident in broad daylight that has left a man with serious injuries and must have been very frightening for anyone who witnessed it.

"A team of detectives are now investigating to establish exactly what happened and how the victim came to suffer his injuries."
