A girl who was stabbed in the neck as she walked down the street has been released from hospital. The 17-year-old was attacked as she walked along Wood Street in Brierfield, Lancashire, at about 15:00 BST on Friday. A 30-year-old, described by Lancashire Police as a British man of Pakistani heritage, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of the teenager, who the BBC understands is also of Pakistani heritage. "This was a very serious incident but thankfully the girl's injuries were not life-threatening," a police spokesman said. "After receiving treatment and care, she has been discharged from hospital and is recovering at home with the support of her family." They said a "dedicated team of detectives were leading the investigation" and there were "no further outstanding suspects".
