An arrest has been made following a manhunt in Mid Devon after a woman was stabbed.
The 27-year-old victim suffered a "number of significant injuries" in the violent attack in Tiverton on Friday.
Police spent more than 24 hours searching for a 44-year-old man who was said to be known by the woman.
A man was arrested in London last night, and he was to be taken to the South West for questioning today.
A police spokesman said: "We are not looking for anybody else in relation to this incident and wish to express our gratitude to those individuals who either assisted the victim or assisted in the investigation."
Emergency services, including armed police and a helicopter, were called to the old railway line in Cowleymoor at around 5.30pm on Friday.
The woman had been stabbed there and was taken to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital in Exeter for treatment.
Her injuries are not said to be life threatening and she is understood to be making a steady recovery.
