An arrest has been made after a man was stabbed in a 'fight' which saw a large section of a city centre sealed off by police.

Officers put up a cordon in King Street, Canterbury after being called just before 8.30pm yesterday.

It has now been confirmed this was to allow investigations to take place after a man was stabbed during an "altercation" between a group of men.

The taped-off area included the junction with Palace Street.

It was reported a man had suffered "non-serious injuries consistent with stab wounds".

The victim had left the scene but was later found by officers at a local hospital.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray and remains in custody while officers continue to investigate the circumstances of the incident.

It is believed all people involved were known to each other.

Detectives are now appealing for information.
