Police flooded the area after reports of a knife attack as hundreds passed through the busy road



A man is recovering in hospital after he was stabbed on a bustling street in Coventry city centre. Police flooded Trinity Street at around 4pm on Saturday (September 2) after reports of a knife attack.

As many as six police cars were seen parked in the road. Paramedics and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance were also seen near the Coventry Transport Museum.

"We were called to Trinity Street shortly after 4pm on Saturday after a man was stabbed," a West Midlands Police spokesperson confirmed. "Officers attended and supported colleagues from the ambulance service, with the man taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

"We are investigating and are carrying out further enquiries in the area. Anyone with information can contact us on 101 or Live Chat quoting log 2828 of 2 September."

Officers erected a large cordon near Cash Generator, Nando's and The Flying Standard pub after the incident took place. Images from the scene showed concerned members of the public looking on as officers swarmed the busy street.

One eyewitness told CoventryLive they were 'horrified' at the events that had unfolded.
