A TEENAGE boy was stabbed in the shoulder, back and torso in East Oxford in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The 17-year-old from Oxford became involved in an argument with three men who had got out of a dark-coloured Volkswagen Golf, at the junction of Cowley Road and Circus Street. The incident happened shortly after midnight.

The teenager was taken to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital, and police said he had returned home by yesterday.

Det Sgt Steve Raffield said: “Although the victim suffered three stab wounds, his injuries are not believed to be too serious.

“We are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident.”

Anyone with information can call Oxford CID on 101, or telephone Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
