A man was rushed to hospital after being stabbed in the leg by armed thugs.

Andrew Hadwin was on his way home from work when he stopped in Green Porch Close, Sittingbourne close to Milton Creek Country park.

He had pulled over for a rest stop on Tuesday when he was approached by two men and a woman.

His wife Steph said: "Three people approached him. One got in the car behind him, one pulled him out, and the other stabbed him."

They then fled the scene and Andrew called an ambulance for himself.

He had been stabbed in the leg and was taken to Medway Maritime Hospital where he received eight pints of blood.

The dad-of-three, from Hastings, also underwent an operation on his leg.

Steph said: "It's a long journey home and he stopped. I didn't hear about it until 7.30pm.

"He just kept saying, 'I'm fine, I'm fine'. I want to warn people, I don't want this the happen to anyone else."

He was released from hospital yesterday.

Police say the assault took place between 6.20pm and 7.10pm.

Police spokesman James Walker said: "At present no arrests have been made and enquiries to establish the full circumstances are ongoing."
