Two men were stabbed following an outdoor party in the city centre on Sunday evening.

Dozens of people had gathered outside the Arnolfini after dark on Easter Day with the stabbings taking place at around 9pm.

The two men who were stabbed, both aged 20, were taken to hospital for treatment after ambulances were called to Prince Street.

One remained in hospital in a stable condition overnight, while the other man was discharged after being treated for superficial injuries.

Police are treating the stabbings as an isolated incident and say they do not believe there is any risk to the wider public.
