Three people have been arrested following an incident last night (19 July) where one person received serious injuries. 

Officers were called to a property on Weston Close in Morda around 9pm and on arriving at the address they found one man with what appeared to be stab wounds.

The victim, 43, was taken to the Royal Stoke Hospital with serious injuries not thought to be life threatening.

One man, 24, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Another man, 37, was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of an offensive weapon and obstructing police and a third man, 53, was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

All three remain in police custody.
