A man was stabbed in the stomach while running through Stricklands Glen in the Bangor area last night.

The victim was attacked by a man who came out of the forest area, struck him in the head, and tried to take his mobile.

When the runner resisted, his attacker stabbed him and made off in the direction of the beach.
