Bedfordshire Police say a man has been stabbed in Luton and suffered serious injuries.

They've been taken to hospital after the incident outside a petrol station in Dunstable Road just before 10pm last night.

Officers remained at the scene and they're appealing for anyone with information to get in touch.

The suspects are described as being in their 20s. One man is believed to be white, around 5'9", wearing a Nike long sleeved jacket, Nike tech jogging bottoms and black trainers. The second man is believed to be of south Asian heritage, around 6ft tall and wearing a puffer jacket body warmer, grey top, grey trainers, and carrying a black side bag.

Detective Inspector Katy Watts, from Bedfordshire Police's Boson Guns and Gangs unit, said: "We can not allow for knife crime to continue to ripple trauma through our communities.

"Anyone one with information is urged to come forward to support our efforts to take perpetrators of violent knife related crime off our streets.

"Our commitment to keep Bedfordshire safe remains the same. We will challenge those that choose to carry weapons and use weapons to insight fear and harm others."
