A TEENAGER from Rochester has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a man was taken to hospital with a suspected stab wound.

Police were called to Windmill Road, Gillingham, at about 2.50am on New Year's Day following an alleged assault by a group of about seven people.

An injured 28-year-old man was attended to by paramedics, while officers made two arrests nearby; a 17-year-old boy from Rochester and a 20-year-old man from Gillingham.

Paramedics took the man to Medway Maritime Hospital, where he was treated for the wound in his left thigh. 

He remains there in a stable but life threatening condition.
