POLICE set up a cordon overnight as a man was found injured with stab wounds following an attack on a Basildon estate.
Police were called to reports of a man found injured in Travers Way, Pitsea, at around 8.45pm yesterday.
The man, who is in his 30s, had sustained stab wounds. A cordon was put in place, which remained in place this morning, and a large police presence was seen on the Chalvedon estate.
A 49 year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of GBH with intent. He has since been released on bail until November 28.
