Police investigating two stabbings in Hull

A man and a woman have suffered life-threatening injuries in two stabbings in Hull, which Humberside Police are treating as linked.

Emergency services were called out to the incidents in the early hours of this morning (Saturday 25th January 2025).

Just after 2am crews were first called to the junction between Buckingham Street and Brecon Street after a man had been reportedly stabbed.

He was to hospital for treatment for life threatening injuries - after sustaining a stab wound to his stomach and a serious injury to his head.

Then shortly after 3am, officers received a further call to Rosmead Street to reports that a woman had also sustained stab wounds to her neck.

The woman was also taken to hospital with life threatening injuries.

Detective Inspector Mark Skelton from Humberside Police's Major Crime Team said:

“We believe these incidents to be connected and I would like to offer my reassurance that the individuals are believed to be known to each other. There is no wider risk to the public.

“A 35-year-old man and 33-year-old woman remain in hospital for treatment to injuries which are thought to be life threatening at this time.

“Members of the public can expect to see an increase in police presence and there are multiple scene guards in place on Barnsley Street, Buckingham Street, and Rosmead Street as our investigation continues and Crime Scene Investigators carry out their enquiries.

“I would encourage anyone with information or concerns, to please come and speak to us.
