Stabbing Sheffield: Police cordon area outside nightclubs on Moorfoot following reported knife attack

Police descended on an area outside several Sheffield nightclubs last night following an alleged stabbing.

At least half a dozen officers were pictured guarding the courtyard on Moorfoot around midnight last night (October 6/7). Police tape and barriers had been used to seal off the area.

Multiple eyewitnesses have told The Star a man was critically injured in the incident and was rushed to hospital by ambulance.

Officers remain at the scene today, with pedestrians unable to walk through the area and being redirected around South Lane and Cumberland Street.

South Yorkshire Police has been contacted for a comment.
