Police have cordoned off two areas whilst initial enquiries are carried out.

One of the areas which was cordoned off was close to the junction of Bluebell Road with The Avenues.

Blue and white police tape covered part of the road and pathway/cycle lane running besides the University of East Anglia student accommodation.

A police van was in the road, which was reduced to one lane of traffic, with a single police officer on duty.

The cordon was removed at just before midday.

People living nearby were shocked to learn there had been a stabbing so close to their homes.

One woman said: "I didn't hear anything last night, but that's awful."

Passers-by were also concerned over whether the victim was a student at the nearby university.
