Two people separately have mentioned to me that they have seen blood spatter on a building in town, close to the Victoria centre.
There’s a story about in in the Evening Post – it seems no-one knows where the blood came from.
POLICE are today continuing their enquiries into a pool of blood found on a city street.
An area around York House in Mansfield Road was cordoned off yesterday as forensic officers took samples.
Inspector Gordon Fenwick said he didn’t know where the blood had come from.
“Officers found the blood on the pavement at around 4am,” he said.
“We have no reports of anything happening, there is nothing on CCTV and we have contacted the hospitals as well but they don’t know anything about this either.
“We are just taking the evidence in case something comes to light later on.”
Mansfield Road was still passable to vehicles and the area was reopened yesterday.
Both people who saw it said they saw it from the bus. That must be quite a lot of blood.

Only Lib Dem could clssify a story like this, that is, a pavement story like this, as politics.
Is that your first comment here, Mike? First-time commenter, long-time reader?
You’re right that ‘politics’ is a strange category to put a post like this in.
It’s more about the names of my categories than my view of politics. Anything I post in that category automatically gets shared with friends and colleagues at http://www.libdemblogs.co.uk so I put big/interesting/intriguing/worrying stories in that category, even when, like this one, it’s not a particularly political story at all.
You know I was teasing.
