A man has been seriously injured in a stabbing in north Belfast.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said officers were called to Kinnaird Avenue around 10.30pm on Monday and the injured man was taken to hospital.
Another man was arrested in connection with the incident and taken into custody, police confirmed.
The scene outside an apartment complex off Kinnaird Avenue in the lower Antrim Road area remained cordoned off on Tuesday morning, with markers visible on the ground where the attack had taken place.
Political representatives have expressed the shock felt in the local community.
North Belfast MP John Finucane said his thoughts are with the victim of the attack.
“I am shocked following a horrific attack in north Belfast last night,” he said.
“My thoughts are with the individual who has been taken to hospital following serious injuries, and I hope they make a full recovery.
“I have spoken with police today and would urge anyone with information about this appalling attack to come forward and assist the investigation.”
Local DUP councillor Jordan Doran said he was “left shocked and deeply concerned” by footage circulating online following the stabbing.
“Many residents have contacted me expressing concerns about community safety and seeking reassurance following this incident,” he said.
“Those concerns are entirely understandable. People deserve to feel safe in their homes and communities, regardless of where they live.”
He continued: “What is beyond dispute is that violence of this nature has no place in North Belfast.
“I will be engaging with the PSNI and relevant agencies as a matter of urgency to ensure residents receive the information and reassurance they deserve.”
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam or CCTV footage has been urged to contact police.
