It was reported that three men wearing hooded tops were involved and the injured man is in hospital.
Steve Brine MP said: “This has really shocked many of us, this is Kings Worthy after all. I am being briefed regularly by the police and think it’s important we let them get on with what is a serious investigation and do their job.
“I have made very clear though, within the bounds of what’s appropriate of course, the importance of communication with residents and a visible presence because people are understandably anxious right now.”
