Police and paramedics were called out to Carlisle's train station after a man was discovered with stab wounds.

British Transport Police officers received reports about 7.15pm on Thursday that a man had been assaulted.

However, when they arrived at the scene they discovered the wounds were old so no further action was taken.

The man, who is in his 30s, was taken to hospital for treatment.

It is unknown whether or not the man is local or if he was a passenger.
