A DISPUTE between neighbours turned to violence last night leaving a man with three stab wounds in his back.

Dean Spencer, of Balmfield, Liversedge, was stabbed yesterday evening.

A neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: "I saw the wounds on his back and they were big. I did not actually see Dean being stabbed but I was there soon afterwards.

"There have been arguments for quite a while now but nothing like this. I cannot believe it has happened."

Mr Spencer was bound over to keep the peace by Dewsbury magistrates last November after another row with a neighbour became violent.

A man was arrested at the scene and is helping police with their inquiries.

It is not known the extent of Mr Spencer's injuries.
