A MAN was stabbed during a fight that started in a Greenock town centre store car park.

The brawl involving a large number of men and women began in the B&M car park in Inverkip Street at 5.20pm, and spilled over into nearby streets.

A 46-year-old Greenock man was stabbed in the shoulder, and taken to Inverclyde Royal Hospital.

One man has been arrested and charged with possession of an offensive weapon — a broken glass bottle — and breach of the peace.

Detective Constable Brian Connelly said: “It appears that all of those involved were known to each other.

“A lot of people would have seen this happening, so we would like to hear from witnesses.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101.
