SEVEN people have been arrested after a man was stabbed to death in broad daylight in Blackpool.
Kris Kam, 35, died after a group of thugs allegedly attacked him in the street before fleeing the scene in a car.
Police were called around 11.15am yesterday to reports a man had been assaulted in the city’s Queen Victoria Road.
Six men, aged between 18 and 28, are being held on suspicion of murder, police said.
It is believed the attackers approached their victim in a black Volkswagen Golf before fleeing the scene in the same vehicle.
Mr Kam was rushed to Blackpool Victoria Hospital after suffering two stab wounds to his upper leg, but died of his injuries on Sunday evening.
A 31-year-old woman is also being held on suspicion of assisting alleged offenders.
All seven remain in custody.
Police are urging any witnesses to come forward.
DCI Alisa Wilson said: “These are tragic circumstances and my thoughts are very much with Mr Kam, his family and his friends at this sad time.
“While we have made a number of arrests, we are continuing to appeal to anyone with information about what happened.
“We believe the attackers approached Mr Kam in a black Volkswagen Golf car before making off from the scene in the same vehicle.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who saw a car, as described, in the area around the time of the incident, or might have dash-cam footage which recorded what happened.
“Attacks of this nature are rare and we would like to reassure people patrols have been increased in the area.”
