Detective Sergeant McCartan said: "Colleagues from NIAS also attended and brought the injured man to hospital for treatment.

"I know there was a large number of people in the area at the time and I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the stabbing, or have any information to come forward. I am also appealing to anyone with mobile phone or dash-cam footage that could help with enquiries to contact police on 101 quoting reference 243 of 15/10/23."
