A man in his 30s suffered life-threatening injuries following an assault on Townsend Street, Belfast, on Wednesday evening. He was taken to the hospital after the attack, and a 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm. Police are appealing for witnesses and any CCTV footage related to the incident. In a separate incident, another man in his 30s was critically injured during a disturbance on Church Street in Darwen, Lancashire, late Saturday night.
