A man has suffered a serious injury after a disorder broke out in Swindon.
Emergency services were called to the incident in the Gorse Hill area in the early hours of this morning (29 June).
Officers found a man with a “serious injury” nearby – in Norman Road – at around 4am.
A crime scene is in place, with Ferndale Road closed at the bus gate near the junction of Norman Road.
Forensic investigation work is expected to be carried out later in the day.
Speculation online suggests the victim suffered a knife injury – however, Wiltshire Police say this is not the case.
