A 16-year-old girl has been arrested after a woman was stabbed outside a supermarket in Kent.

Emergency services were called to the incident involving several people in Oldfield Place, Dartford, at about 19:10 BST on Sunday.

A woman in her 30s was reportedly assaulted with a bottle and suffered injuries consistent with stab wounds, police said.

A teenage girl was arrested on suspicion of assault and has since been bailed, pending further investigation.

Investigators are appealing for witnesses to the serious assault.

“It is understood there were members of the public in the area at the time of the incident, and officers are urging witnesses who have not yet spoken to the police to contact them,” a police spokesman said.
