TWO teenagers have been arrested after a man was stabbed with blood 'spurting' from his arm after a fight.

Police were called to a report of a fight between three men in Elm Grove, Brighton, at 5.24am on Sunday.

A 24-year-old man was found at the scene with a stab wound to his arm.

Police said a search was carried out in the area and a man aged 19 and a boy aged 17 were arrested nearby on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.

They remain in custody.

Residents on Elm Grove described their horror after finding the street "covered in blood" following the suspected stabbing.

The 24-year-old victim was left with a "deep wound" on his right arm which "squirted quite a lot of blood" a neighbour said.

Forensics were pictured at the address on Sunday morning, with police tape cordoning off a section of the road.

Several police vehicles including a forensics van were also seen at the address as officers worked to investigate the incident.

Speaking to The Argus, a concerned neighbour said: "They started chucking wheelie bins and then it was like 'I am going to f****** stab you up, I am going to f*** you up.

"And then he walked away clutching his arm and there was a trail of blood all outside my house.

"There was blood everywhere."
