Four men arrested in connection with a stabbing in Brighton have been released under investigation, as detectives continue to seek witnesses.
Police responded to a report of a fight involving around 20 people in Montpelier Place at 10.15pm on Wednesday (November 4).
A 40-year-old local man suffered stab injuries and was taken to Royal Sussex County Hospital for treatment, where he remains in a serious but stable condition.
Two men aged 18, and two other men aged 19 and 57, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. They are assisting police and have each been released under investigation, pending further enquiries.
Detective Inspector James Ansell, of the Surrey and Sussex Police Major Crime Team, said:
