TEN people arrested on suspicion of violent disorder as part of a police investigation into a stabbing in Barnoldswick last month have been bailed.
The group, some Polish, some English, were arrested on Wednesday and taken to local police stations where they were questioned by detectives.
Nine of those arrested live in Barnoldswick and one in Skipton.
Three are aged 17, two are aged 15, one is aged 16, two are aged 26, one is aged 25 and the other is aged 28.
The arrests followed a number of incidents in Barnoldswick on Friday November 25, including a stabbing outside the Crunchy Chicken and Rib Shop on Rainhall Road, which left a man with a puncture wound to the stomach.
Pendle Borough Chief Inspector Richard Debicki said: "A full and thorough investigation was launched following the stabbing.
"That investigation looked not only at the stabbing but also at a number of other incidents alleged to have taken place that evening. Ten people have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder. I would like to reassure local communities that violent behaviour will not be tolerated in Barnoldswick or indeed anywhere in Pendle.
"Where there is clear evidence of offences, people will be put before the courts."
l Ricky Walling, 26, of Kelbrook Road, Barnoldswick is in custody charged with wounding with intent. He will appear before Burnley Crown Court in the New Year.
