Just after 5:15pm on 31 July police were called to a house on Sea View Road, East End, where a man had been stabbed. 

Police had learned that the victim was standing outside the residence when a man he knew arrived on a bicycle and stabbed him. The suspect fled the location but the police tracked him down, leading to his arrest today nine days later.
