A police cordon has been lifted this morning following reports of a stabbing in the College Green area of Hereford in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Local residents reported being woken up in the early hours of the morning in the Regent Gardens area of the city. One person commented on a Facebook post stating that her nephew had been stabbed several times in an apparent attack.

Police quickly arrived at the scene and cordoned off a section of Regent Gardens, as well as a pathway near the co-op store at the bottom of Kingsway.
