Re: Just heard on news
It said on radio news that there has been a serious assault, it mentioned Empress St and also mentioned India Street as well. Since I'm not from Accy I don't know if these streets are near each other.

Re: Just heard on news
Maybe it happened earlier and is allover and done with now. Or have they taped off the back alley perhaps?

Re: Just heard on news
From the bbc:

A 19-year-old man is critically ill in hospital after being stabbed in east Lancashire.
Police were called to a disturbance in Empress Street in Accrington in the early hours of Friday.
The victim was found by officers with a stab wound to his chest and was taken to hospital where he has undergone emergency surgery. Two men from Accrington, aged 19 and 23, have been arrested on suspicion of wounding and inquiries are continuing.

Re: Just heard on news
I was walking through when a reporter was there earlier. She asked me if I had seen or heard anything there last night but as I don't live on the street, I hadn't. Sounds like a nasty business though.
