A BOY was found with stab wounds to his back in Chelmsford last night (November 25).
The 15-year-old, thought to be local, was found by a female resident in a front garden in Gardeners at around 9.30pm with the injury to his back, and was rushed to hospital for treatment.
His injuries are thought to be serious but not life-threatening.
DI David Miles, of Chelmsford CID, said: "I would ask any witnesses or anyone who may have seen anything suspicious around the time of the incident to get in touch with us as soon as they can."
Anybody with any information is asked to contact officers at Chelmsford CID on Essex Police 101.
