Yeah does seem strange:confused: Especially as Empress st isnt really a through road like countess st,well nevermind we may here something on local news later if it was anything serious.

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.

Maybe it happened earlier and is allover and done with now. Or have they taped off the back alley perhaps?

It is still a church Panther, what used to be the school on the next corner is now housing for young people

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.

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.
