Police issued an appeal following a stabbing in Watford.

The incident occurred on Tuesday, April 27.

Officers, including armed units, were called to The Brow at around 5.30pm following reports that a man was injured.

An 18-year-old was found with a stab wound and it appears they were on a bench being treated by paramedics before being taken to hospital.

Police say the victim's injuries are not thought to be life threatening or life changing.

A police cordon was set up outside the shops in The Brow on Tuesday night as detectives began conducting enquiries into the stabbing.
