A WOMAN has been arrested after a man was stabbed in the neck following a street fight.

An area of Eastleigh has been cordoned off this morning following the incident.

Hampshire Constabulary vehicles are currently at the scene and cordons have been put up in Blenheim Road, near the junction with Southampton Road.

A Hampshire Constabulary spokesman said: "Officers were called out to an incident at 10.24pm yesterday evening (18 April) following reports of an assault near to the Swann Centre car park in Eastleigh.

"An argument had ensued between a man and a woman, resulting in a 39-year-old man suffering a stab wound to the neck.

"He was taken to Southampton General Hospital with his injuries described as non-life-threatening.

"A 38-year-old woman from Hedge End was arrested on suspicion of section 18 assault casing grievous bodily harm. She remains in custody at this time."

The cordon surrounds the Unity Court block of flats, and an area of the Swan Centre car park is also shut off.
