One man in his 20s was stabbed near the clock repair shop in West Street at 2.15am on Saturday April 14 and was taken to Pilgrim Hospital with a serious injury. One man in his teens has been arrested in connection with the attack and remains in custody.

Police are aware that a number of people were outside the Jolly Crispin pub and may have information that can help with the investigation.

Boston Policing Inspector Andy Morrice said: “This is a highly unusual and terrible incident and we are working hard to establish what has happened and why. It is a criminal offence to carry a knife and police have powers to stop and search. There is absolutely no need carry a knife and it is extremely rare for us to come across someone doing so.

“Possession is extremely serious and those found to be carrying a knife can receive custodial sentences. If you believe someone is carrying a knife or other weapon, please ensure you report it immediately.”

Anyone who witnessed what happened is urged to call 101 quoting incident 25 of 14 April.
