Bedfordshire Police have arrested two people after a stabbing in Luton yesterday (December 26).

They were called to Woodcock road at around 3:10am to the reports, where the victim, in their late teens, was found.

He was taken to hospital and remains there in a stable condition.

Yesterday a 23-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy were both arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, and remain 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."
