The victim is in a stable condition in hospital
A man has been charged with attempted murder after the stabbing of a 30-year-old man on Leighton Terrace on Sunday evening.
This morning, Devon Police said: “A man in connection with a stabbing in Exeter on Sunday the 15th of January has been charged.”
The man charged has been named as Richard Grant, also known as ‘Pyle’, aged 46 from Exeter.
A 30-year-old man received “multiple stab wounds” and was found on the floor on Leighton Terrace at 9:50pm.
He was treated by an off-duty paramedic, who told the Express and Echo it was the most severe stabbing injury she’d ever encountered.
A manhunt was triggered, with a helicopter flying over the city, before being caught at around 11:30pm hiding in the forest by the University.
