A fourth arrest has been made by detectives investigating an attempted robbery in which a man was stabbed.
A 26-year-old man was arrested yesterday on suspicion of robbery after the incident at Metcalfe, Kime & Co on Allensway, in Thornaby, on Friday.
It brings the total arrests made by Cleveland Police to four.
The force arrested three men - aged 20, 22 and 23 - on the day of the crime, also on suspicion of robbery.
All four are on police bail pending further inquiries.

Armed police attend incident in Thornaby town centre
Police and armed police were called to the insurance services business in Langham House at about 4pm.
A motorbike, which was missing a registration plate, was abandoned at the scene and two men made off on foot.
An extensive search of the area by police officers, armed police, police dogs and the force’s helicopter was conducted.
Keith Rigby, 60, was taken to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough with a stab wound to his abdomen - which police confirmed is not life-threatening - as well as a possible leg and wrist injury.
His son Chris, a finance clerk at the insurance services firm where his dad is the manager, also received an injury to his face.
Both have since been discharged from hospital.
Chris, a dad-of-two, has since spoken to The Gazette about the shocking moment two men wearing motorcycle helmets stormed into his office brandishing a knife and demanded money.
“I was on autopilot, just natural instinct kicked in,” he said.
Any witnesses or anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Amy Campbell from the Major Crime Team on the non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
