A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a baby was seriously injured.
A three-month-old boy was admitted to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on Saturday. Police were called to the hospital at around 11am following concerns for the baby’s welfare.
The infant was later transferred to Bristol Children’s Hospital where he remains in a critical but stable condition.
A 20-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man have been arrested in connection with the incident in Archdeacon Street, Gloucester, where police said a "scene guard" was in place.
A Gloucestershire Police spokesman said: "Police were called to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital at 11am on July 30 after concerns were raised for a baby's welfare.
“A baby boy, aged three months old, was brought to the hospital with serious injuries. He now remains in a critical but stable condition at Bristol Children’s Hospital.
“We wish to reassure the local community that this is thought to be an isolated and contained incident, with no wider risk to the public.”
