A British Pakistani man was stabbed outside a mosque in what police are investigating as a serious assault.
The attack took place near the mosque as people were leaving the building, according to local reports. Emergency services were called to the scene and the victim was taken to hospital with knife injuries.
Police said officers quickly secured the area and began searching for suspects linked to the incident. Authorities have not yet confirmed a motive for the attack. Investigators are examining witness statements and nearby surveillance footage as part of the ongoing inquiry.
Community leaders have condemned the violence and called for calm while police continue their investigation into the stabbing. The incident comes amid growing concerns among community groups about a rise in Islamophobic incidents, including vandalism and assaults targeting mosques and Muslim communities in parts of England in recent weeks.
