NO further action will be taken against a 66-year-old man who was arrested by police following a stabbing incident last week.

Officers were called to Whitbourne Avenue on Thursday evening where a woman had sustained serious but not life threatening injuries.

A man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm but following an investigation, the police have established that no crime was actually committed.

Staff at MJ Kebab and Pizza have been praised locally for providing first aid during the incident.
