Detectives investigating two stabbings in Middlesbrough have made two arrests.
Cleveland Police has arrested a 46-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman on suspicion of false imprisonment.
It comes after two men were discovered with stab wounds in separate properties in central Middlesbrough this morning.
One, a 41-year-old, was found an address on Park Lane at around 7.10am. The second man, a 35-year-old, was located at an address on nearby Myrtle Street.
Both men were taken to James Cook University Hospital, in Middlesbrough, and the University of North Tees, in Stockton, respectively for treatment.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said that “the injuries are not believed to be life threatening”.
Cordons were put up around Park Lane in central Middlesbrough, close to the university, and on nearby Myrtle Street while inquiries were carried out this morning.
One female resident of Myrtle Street, who did not want to be named, said: “All I know is a man was brought out with cuts on his arm, and a lady was taken out, but not in handcuffs or anything.
“We are quite friendly with the neighbours really, most of us know each other. We don’t know the people in that house though.
“We don’t usually get any trouble.”
Another resident said: “It’s nearly all old age pensioners on the street.
“They’ve only been in maybe about eight months so we don’t know them.”
Police cordoned off a large area around the Park Lane address, restricting access through surrounding Aubrey Street and Egerton Street, and officers were also knocking on doors in nearby Victoria Road.
The incident comes just three weeks after another stabbing on nearby Errol Street.
Police were called at 10.20am on Friday, March 6, after a 33-year-old man was been stabbed in the buttocks.
The victim was taken to James Cook University Hospital but left without receiving treatment.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman, who confirmed no arrests have been made in connection with the Errol Street crime, said they are not linking the two incidents at this time.
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
