A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a woman and a man were found with stab wounds in a horror double stabbing.
The pair were knifed in the neck and stomach following two horrific attacks in Hull.
The man, 35, who also suffered a head injury, was found with a stab wound to his stomach in Buckingham Street area at around 2am today.
Just an hour later at 3am a 33-year-old woman was found in nearby Rosmead Street with a stab wound to her neck.
The woman remains in hospital with life threatening injuries while the man’s are deemed “serious”.
Now a 48-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder.
Humberside Police said the incidents appear to be connected.
The force also stressed that there was “no wider risk to the public”.
