A SIXTEEN-year old youth has claimed he had been stabbed in an incident in Cinderford during the early hours of Sunday morning.
The youth was seen by members of the public clutching his stomach and by customers of the town's kebab and Chinese restaurants at 1.30am and after he had told them of his plight they phoned for an ambulance.
He was spotted a short while later by around ten people socialising in the town's Triangle area.
But when the emergency services crews arrived, they initially had difficulty in finding the victim, but he was soon discovered by police in Dockham Road.
