Police had been searching for the man after the assault on Thursday evening in the Goodman Square area of the city.

Officers were called at around 5pm but by the time they had arrived the victim had fled the scene.

However, police said they had since been made aware of a man admitted to hospital on Friday morning with a stab wound. His injuries are not thought to be serious.

Two men, aged in their late teens, were arrested on suspicion of assault, possession of an offensive weapon and possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and they both remain in police custody.
