The victim was found by a member of the public in Vauxhall Street just before 19:30 last night.

Paramedics and police officers treated the man at the scene but he later died in hospital.

Shortly afterwards armed officers arrested a 51-year-old man. He’s still in custody and the police say they don’t believe anyone else was involved in the incident.

The road was closed off until early this morning, and a team of 12 detectives led by Detective Chief Inspector Alison Fosey are currently working on the case. Police say they’ve found what they believe might be a weapon.

Several lines of enquiry are being pursued today including interviewing potential witnesses, house to house enquiries, and CCTV analysis.
