A man has been arrested in connection with a double stabbing in the early hours of Saturday morning in Coventry, which left two men in their 20s in a critical condition.
Police said a 21-year-old man was found at the rear of Club M in Coventry city centre just before 5.30am in a life-threatening condition after he was stabbed in the stomach. Minutes later, another man, believed to be in his 20s, was discovered a short distance away with multiple stab wounds. He is currently undergoing surgery.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, West Midlands police confirmed.
Insp Andy McHugh, from the force’s CID, said: “We are in the very early stages of this inquiry and we are trying to piece together the events of this morning and indeed if the two incidents are linked to each other.
“We are speaking to witnesses at both scenes and looking at CCTV of the surrounding area, but I would ask anyone who has any information about these events and has not spoken to us, to contact us on 101 quoting log 631 of 1/9.”
