A man found injured outside a pub in Derby was stabbed, police said as officers made an appeal to trace two suspects.
Derbyshire Police said it was called just before 18:00 BST on Saturday to an injured man outside the Five Lamps in Duffield Road.
On Sunday, the force confirmed the 35-year-old victim had suffered stab wounds to his upper leg and lower back, which are not believed to be life-threatening, in nearby Belper Road.
Two men in their 30s who left the scene are wanted for questioning.
Both the suspects were white, said officers, with one wearing a tracksuit.
The pair left in the direction of the Texaco Garage.
Paramedics also attended the scene and officers taped off the front of the pub while forensic units investigated the area.
A police spokesperson said the investigation was ongoing and anyone with information was urged to contact the force.
