They were both arrested within minutes of the incident in Cardiff Grove at around 1am yesterday morning (15/9).

A man in his 30s from Luton remains in a serious but stable condition after suffering several stab wounds.

A woman in her 40s from Luton also suffered stab wounds in the attack.

Two men from Luton, one in his 40s and one in his 30s, have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Detective Inspector James Day from Bedfordshire Police said: “Anyone who is found carrying and using a knife with such recklessness will be swiftly brought to justice.

“We must all play our part in challenging this culture of knife crime. Carrying a knife is not normal and this kind of violence must be stopped.
