Man ‘slashed with bladed weapon’ during fight in hotel car park

Two men were arrested by police

A man was injured with a “bladed weapon” after a fight in a hotel car park. Lincolnshire Police were called to the George Hotel in High Street St Martins, in Stamford, near Peterborough, just before 10pm on Saturday (May 2).

A fight had broken out between a group of people in the hotel car park. Officers arrested two men, one aged 25 and another aged 48, on suspicion of GBH.

In the incident, a 62-year-old man was injured and treated for non-serious injuries which “appear to have been caused from being slashed with a bladed weapon”, according to a police spokesperson. The 25-year-old man has since been released on bail and the 48-year-old man has been released with no further action.

A police spokesperson said: “Several people were spoken to at the time of the incident and other lines of inquiry explored, but investigating officers would still like to hear from anyone who hasn’t already been spoken to and who may have been in the area of the hotel at the time of the incident and who saw or heard anything.”

Anyone with information should email Andrew.james@lincs.police.uk or call 101 and quote incident 543 of May 2.
