Two people have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a man was found with serious injuries in Bedford.

It was initially thought the victim, who was found in Prebend Street early yesterday morning, had been in a crash - but he was then found to have suffered a stab wound.

Police were called at around 1.15am.

Two men – one is his 50s and one in his 30s – were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and are currently in police custody for questioning.

Detective Constable Jessica Benham, investigating, said: “We are looking to establish the circumstances which caused this man’s injuries and are particularly interested in a grey Ford S-MAX and a white Mercedes Vito.

“We have made two arrests in connection with this and are pursuing several lines of enquiry.

“If you have any information, then please get in touch right away.”
