Appeal for witnesses to Newtown stabbing
The 18-year-old was stabbed in his arm at around 8.25pm near Parkers Lane, and Dyfed-Powys Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Officers administered first aid on the scene and an ambulance took the victim to hospital.
A 16-year-old was swiftly arrested at a nearby property on suspicion of assault GBH, and he remains in custody.
The scene of the incident remained closed off for some time for investigation, and there is an increased police presence within the town centre.
“If anyone has any concerns please speak to the neighbourhood policing and prevention officers in the area,” a force spokesperson said. “We are not searching for anyone else in connection with this matter.”
There was also an incident earlier in the day in the town where an armed man was seen chasing another man. A 20-year-old man was arrested and charged with threatening a person with a bladed article in a public place and remanded to appear at Mold Crown Court on March 8, 2025. This incident was not connected to last night’s incident.
