Detectives are investigating after a man was injured following a fight between a number of men late on Saturday.
The PSNI is appealing for information and witnesses after the man was found in the Ormonde Street area of Portadown in Co Armagh.
Police found the man after responding to reports of a stabbing around 11.35pm on Saturday.
“Officers attended alongside colleagues from Northern Ireland Ambulance Service and, thankfully, it was established that this was incorrect,” a PSNI spokesperson said.
“However a man aged in his 30s had sustained facial injuries which had caused substantial blood loss.
“Our enquiries are continuing but at this stage we believe that an altercation had occurred between a number of men, and the victim was assaulted with a weapon. The injuries received are not, at this time, believed to be life-threatening.”
Detectives are appealing for information, including from anyone who may have been driving in the area and have dashcam footage or mobile phone or CCTV footage.
