Police believe he was attacked by a group of men who then ran off. The victim was rushed to hospital for treatment of stab wounds to his stomach, right arm and back as well as injuries to his head.

The man indicated he knew his assailants and the assault stemmed from an earlier incident. However he would not co-operate with Police any further. And Police are hunting a mugger who slapped the glasses of the face of a 15-year-old CedarBridge student before running off with his mobile phone.

The victim, from St. George’s, was talking on his phone while walking up from the car park at the rear of Windsor Place in the City of Hamilton to the City Hall car park on Church Street when he was approached by an unknown man from behind.
