| We were called to reports that a man had been stabbed in Darley Park at 10am on Wednesday 16 October.
The incident saw the victim chased by two Asian men into the park from the car park off Darley Park Drive.
At the scene a man in his 40s was found with a stab wound to his chest. He was taken to hospital and received treatment for what was found to be a minor physical injury.
The two suspects left the scene in a black BMW 1 Series that left down Duffield Road towards the city centre.
Officers understand that this is an isolated incident and was a targeted assault.
Detectives are keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident – in particular anyone with CCTV or dashcam that may have captured the incident or the moments before or after.

We are aware of an ongoing issue with Facebook which is causing some users to receive a warning when trying to share our content. This is due to Facebook tightening their security measures around spam posts – which is ultimately a good thing. We are in conversation with Facebook to resolve this issue, however, whilst it is ongoing we ask that users who receive this warning report the issue to Facebook using the report option provided. We know it’s frustrating to everyone trying to help by sharing our content (trust us, it’s frustrating for us too!) and we, as always, really appreciate your support!
