THE victim of a city centre stabbing over the weekend is beginning to show signs of improvement.
Police are investigating the assault after the 27-year-old man was found near the Primark store in Long Row at around 1.45am on Sunday.
He was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre, where he remains in a critical but stable condition. Police initially described him as "gravely ill".
After searching the area and examining hours of CCTV footage, detectives now believe the man was stabbed following an altercation near the Brian Clough statue not long before he was found. It is also possible that there were a number of people involved.
Notts Police are still keen to speak to anyone who believes they may have seen something that could help the investigation. A spokesman said: "The area would have been busy at the time of the incident, with revellers leaving pubs and clubs. Did you see anything that you think might help us?
"If you saw the attack, or know who is responsible, please contact us. Your call will be treated in the strictest confidence."
Witnesses, or anyone with any information, should contact Notts Police on 101, quoting incident 119 on Sunday 11 November 2012.
Alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
