A murder investigation has been launched by detectives from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) after a man was stabbed in Narborough Road.
Police were called to the scene – between Harrow Road and Norman Street – by the East Midlands Ambulance Service at around 9.45pm yesterday (Wednesday 27 September).
A man in his 50s was reported to have suffered a stab wound injury and was taken to hospital, but he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Three people – an 18-year-old man and two boys aged 16 – have been arrested on suspicion of murder. They all remain in custody.
A scene preservation remains in place in Narborough Road between the junctions of Norman Street and Paton Street.
Detective Inspector Mark Parish, the senior investigating officer, said: “Our investigation is in its early stages and officers will be in the area this morning carrying out further enquiries and providing reassurance to the community.
“This incident happened in an area of city that experiences a high footfall of both pedestrians and vehicles. I’d therefore ask eyewitnesses and motorists with dashcams – to come forward if they have any information or footage that could help.”
A dedicated major incident portal has been set up, where information can be passed on directly to the investigation team.
