A man is in a critical condition in hospital after being stabbed multiple times during a brawl.

The victim, aged in his 30s, was seriously injured during the incident which took place in the Bury Road area of Thetford, Norfolk, just before midday on Sunday.

He was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge where he remains.

Three people, including two women, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit attempted murder.
