Two more people have been bailed as part of an investigation into a multiple stabbing in Norwich.

Officers were called to Hemming Way in Norwich at around 5pm on Wednesday 27th October to reports a man had been stabbed.

A man in his 20s was taken to hospital.

A further call was made just after 5.15pm from the Ambulance Service, reporting that five men, in their 20s and 30s, had also been found on Marriott's Way, two of which had stab wounds.

Armed officers were deployed to the scenes and those with injuries were taken to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital for treatment, where they remain in a serious but not life-threatening condition.

Eight men were arrested, including the three who were injured.

Five of those arrested were questioned and released on police bail with conditions to leave Norfolk and only to return when responding to bail.

Two men have since been discharged from the hospital and were questioned on Friday night. They were both released on police bail, one with conditions to leave Norfolk and the other to reside at an address in Norfolk and not to attend Hemming Way.

One man remains in hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries. He will be questioned in due course.

Police say their enquiries are ongoing and that anyone who saw what happened should come forward.
