Two men have been arrested after a stabbing in Harrogate.

A man suffered a minor hand injury in the Mayfield Grove area last night (Sunday 12 May 2024).

A short time later two men were arrested in connection with the incident. A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of robbery and a 32-year-old man was arrested for wounding with intent. Both currently remain in police custody.

Following the incident, the victim received treatment in hospital for minor injuries.

The senior commander for the Harrogate District, Superintendent Teresa Lam commented:

“Thankfully incidents of this nature are extremely rare in Harrogate, and they will not be tolerated. An investigation is now underway to establish the full circumstances.

"I would like to stress that we are treating this as an isolated incident and do not believe that there is any ongoing wider threat to the general public."
