A man was stabbed as a neighbours' dispute erupted into violence.

Officers were called to Harbour Way yesterday afternoon to a "disturbance" outside Bennett Court, at the bottom of the road near to the harbour.

A bottle and knife were reportedly used during the incident, but this is subject to a police investigation.

The 27-year-old man was taken to the William Harvey Hospital with minor injuries, police confirmed.

Two men aged 27 and 32 were arrested on suspicion of assault and have since been released on bail.

A police spokesman said: "Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information that may help police is asked to contact PC Martin Brand on 01843 222289.

"Alternatively call Kent Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
