Northamptonshire Police are asking for two dog walkers to come forward following a serious assault on Barrack Road in Northampton. The incident took place at approximately 9.35pm on Saturday, 11 April 2026, leaving a man in his 20s with stab wounds.

Detectives investigating the matter believe the two individuals spoke to the victim immediately after the assault occurred. Officers are urging these witnesses, or anyone else who may have information, to contact the force.

Members of the public who have relevant CCTV or dash-cam footage are also encouraged to help with the inquiry. Information can be provided by calling 101, or through the anonymous Crimestoppers service at 0800 555111.
