Bedfordshire Police is appealing for witnesses following an incident in Luton on Friday (24 January).
Shortly before 6pm, police received a report that a man received serious injuries in Eighth Avenue following an altercation with three other men.
Subsequently one man was taken to hospital with stab wounds, which were not believed to be life-threatening.
The suspects are described as three men, believed to be of Asian heritage.
Detective Constable Joseph Berry, investigating, said: “This shocking incident took place at a busy time of day, and is simply not acceptable to witness on our streets.
“We are increasing our community presence as a response to this and other incidents in the county.
“We are carrying out several of lines of enquiry and would urge anyone who witnessed the attack to contact us via our website or on 101, quoting the reference 40/4489/25.”
