A 19-YEAR-OLD who was stabbed in the neck last night is in a stable condition, police say.

The teenager was attacked near Blockbuster Video in Chorley Old Road, at 7.40pm last night.

He was taken to hospital but his condition is not thought to be life threatening.

It happened less than half-a-mile away from a stabbing earlier in the day.

At 1.30am yesterday a 24-year-old man was stabbed in a row over cigarettes.

He is also in a stable condition and is expected to remain in hospital for the next few days after having surgery.
