A BURNLEY man was slashed and left needing 18 stitches.
Detectives have launched a probe after the 21-year-old suffered a serious cut after being attacked in Rakehead Park.
The victim was walking through the park, off Sharp Street, when he was approached by a gang of four between 5.45am and 6.15am last Thursday.
Det Sgt Ian McLean said that the 21-year-old was taken to nearby Burnley General Hospital, and later transferred to the Royal Preston.
He has now been allowed home.
The main attacker was white, around 5ft 9in tall, and was wearing a dark hooded top.
