Two people have been arrested in connection with a stabbing in Luton in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Police were called to Woodcock Road at around 3.10am on Tuesday after receiving reports that a man had been stabbed.

The victim – who is in his late teens – was taken to hospital, where he remains in a stable condition.

A 23-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy were arrested earlier today on suspicion of attempted murder and are currently in police custody for questioning.

Detective Inspector Jon Wheeler from Bedfordshire Police said: “We are particularly interested in speaking with anyone who was in the area at the time, saw the incident unfold, or may have any doorbell or dashcam footage. I would urge anyone who can assist us to get in touch immediately to shed some light on the situation.

“Knife crime remains an area of concern and priority across the county, but we are working hard to keep Bedfordshire safe by challenging those that choose to carry weapons and use them to incite fear and harm others."
