Updated: A MAN and a woman were last night in custody after a double stabbing in York.
The pair both suffered stab wounds in what police called a “domestic-related incident” near to the Premier Shop in Gale Lane, Acomb, on Saturday night.
A 44-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman were taken to York Hospital with puncture wounds.
They were rumoured locally to be husband and wife. None of the injuries were life-threatening.
Police set up a cordon from the shop to Gale Lane Fisheries and crowds of locals gathered as police officers scoured the street, pavements and bins for evidence and carried out detailed forensic examinations.
Officers have also been carrying out door-to-door inquiries in the area.
The man and woman were arrested in hospital on Saturday evening and taken into police custody, where they remained last night.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said they were called at 6.35pm on Saturday.
Witnesses or anyone with information about the incident is asked to phone York Police’s Protecting Vulnerable Persons Unit on 0845 6060247, quoting reference 12110113785, or to phone Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
