A man has been taken to hospital after a stabbing in Kirkcaldy.
The incident happened in the Orkney Place area of the town around 9pm on Sunday.
The 28-year-old man was taken to Victoria Hospital.
His condition is not known.
Police remained at the scene on Monday morning with an area around a block of flats taped off.
Officers also cordoned off a car wash on St Clair Street on Sunday night.
One Orkney Place resident told The Courier he saw the area “swamped” with emergency services at 9pm on Sunday.
He said: “Incidents happen around these flats often but it’s a long time since I’ve seen that amount of police and flashing blue lights in one place.
“You knew by the level of police response that it was something serious.
“They taped the whole area off and were here right through until this morning.

“We’ve had officers going door to door asking we we heard or saw anything.”
Another resident said: “I heard the sirens and looked out my living room window and it was just blue lights everywhere.
“It’s scary when it’s where you live.
“Police had the area cordoned off right through to the following morning with officers stood guard at various walkways.
“They were strict on where and how people could enter and leave their flats.”
