Have you seen Bradley Mason and Daniel Sweeney?

We want to trace the two men and speak to them after a double stabbing in Preston last week.

We were called at shortly before 9am on Friday, April 14 following reports of an assault on Shelley Road in Ashton.

Emergency services attended and two people were taken to hospital with stab wounds. They were a man in his 20s and a man in his 50s. Thankfully their injuries while serious were not life threatening.
