Detective's appeal after two stabbings in Headingley

Officers said a 24-year-old man was assaulted with a knife on Estcourt Avenue at about 11pm last night and belongings including his wallet and mobile phone were taken.

Both of the victims suffered serious injuries "consistent with knife wounds" and were taken to hospital via ambulance, police said.

A 19-year-old male was arrested in connection with both offences and remains in police custody.

Police are now appealing to the public for them to come forward with any information, if they were approached by anyone on their night out or if they saw anything suspicious in the area.

The suspect is described a white male, slim build and was wearing light blue jogging bottoms, a black puffa jacket which had a hood with a fur trim and black trainers with white trims and has an Eastern European accent.
