A 30-year-old Bulgarian man was grievously injured with a sharp instrument last night. He is not in a critical condition.

The police said they were informed of the case by Mater Dei Hospital, which had been asked to assist at a hotel in Triq il-Kbira, St Julian's. There, they found the Bulgarian with a neck wound.

The police said that although the events were still unclear, it was being claimed that the man was assaulted outside an entertainment establishment in Triq Wilġa, Paceville.

He walked back to his hotel before seeking medical assistance.
