Cowley stabbing in early hours

An Oxford Brookes was stabbed in the early hours of yesterday morning outside the O2 Academy on Cowley Road.

The incident took place at around 4am on Thursday 13th October. The 20-year-old first-year student was walking along Cowley Road when a man pulled up in a vehicle and a fight began.

The student was taken by paramedics to the John Radcliffe hostpital where he remains in a critical but stable condition.

Inspector Simon Morton from Oxford Criminal Investigation Department said, “At this stage, we believe that the victim knew his attacker and that this is an isolated incident.”

This comes after a 31 year old man suffered facial injuries after being attacked with a knife on Cowley Road last week.
