Following enquiries, a man aged in his 40s from Weymouth was arrested on suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent. He remains in police custody.
Detective Inspector Dave Horn, of Dorset County CID, said: “We are continuing to investigate this incident and, from our enquiries so far, we believe it occurred within an address and involved individuals who are known to each other. There is nothing to indicate any wider risk to the public.
“To assist our ongoing enquiries, I would appeal to anyone who witnessed or heard any suspicious activity in the area of Lennox Street between around 12am to 1.30am on Sunday 11 February 2024 to please contact us.
