Town centre stabbing: suspect released without charge

A WOMAN arrested after a stabbing incident in a town centre bar at Warrington has been released without charge.
Police say no further action will be taken against the 20-year-old – and have renewed an appeal for information about the incident in the Level Bar, Rylands Street, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
It was around 2.50am that police were called to the bar on Sunday.
Officers found an 18-year-old woman with a puncture wound to her
lower abdomen.  She was taken to Warrington Hospital for treatment but has since been discharged.
The incident took place in the women’s toilet and police are appealing for anyone who was in the bar at the time who saw anything significant to come forward.
DC Ian Bingley said: “I am appealing for anyone who was in the bar around the time of the incident and has seen anything which could assist with our enquiries, to come forward.  We have already spoken to a number of people who were at the scene but there may be others who we have not yet traced and I would urge them to come forward.”
A 20-year-old woman was arrested in connection with the incident but she has now been released without charge.
