A man walking his dog sustained a chest wound after an attack in a Plymouth park, according to police reports.

Devon and Cornwall Police responded to reports of a violent incident at Yealmpstone Park in the Plympton area around 23:30 GMT on 26 November. Authorities stated that the victim was approached by two unidentified men, leading to a confrontation that resulted in an injury requiring hospital care.

The cause of the wound remains unclear, police said. The injured man has since been released from the hospital.
