Officers investigating an assault in Canewdon are asking for witnesses and information.

We were called just before 8.55am on Sunday 22 January to reports of an injured man at a property in Paddocks Close, Canewdon.

Officers attended and found a man, 20s, had sustained a single stab wound and facial injuries. He was taken to hospital where he remains. His injuries are not considered to be life threatening but may be life changing at this time.

Officers have arrested two men, aged 31 and 27 and from the Southend area, on suspicion of attempted murder and they remain in police custody for questioning.

“Officers are carrying out high visibility reassurance patrols and remain in the area to answer anyone’s concerns.
“If you know anything about this incident that may help our investigation, please call us or approach one of our officers and tell them what you know.”
