Then at around 3am this morning (Sunday 1 April) detectives received a call from the ambulance service who reported a 22-year-old man had been stabbed at the junction of Ash Road, Headingley, close to The Arc, as he was taking cash out of an ATM machine.

Both victims suffered serious injuries and were taken to Leeds General Infirmary for urgent medical treatment.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with both of these incidents and remains in police custody .
