THREE people arrested in connection with a stabbing incident in a Kent village have been bailed by police until March.

The two men and a woman were questioned by detectives after being arrested on Tuesday. They were bailed pending further police inquiries.

The arrests came after an incident at Ash, near Sevenoaks, early on New Year’s Day when a 42-year-old man suffered injuries. He was taken to Darenth Valley Hospital, Dartford, and was still in a stable condition today.

Police are appealing to anyone who was in the Ash Road or The Street area of Ash after midnight on New Year’s Day and has information to contact Det Insp Simon Davy on 01732 771055 or ring Crimestoppers on 08000 555111.
