Two men have been taken to hospital with stab wounds after they were found at separate Middlesbrough houses.
Cordons remain in place around Park Lane in central Middlesbrough, close to the university, and on nearby Myrtle Street while inquiries were carried out this morning.
Cleveland Police said officers were called to a terraced home on Park Lane at around 7.10am where a 41-year-old man was found with stab injuries.
A second man aged 35 who had also suffered stab injuries was located at a house on Myrtle Street.
Both men were taken to hospital for treatment, although the injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
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.
