Woman arrested for attempted murder after three young children 'stabbed' at house

A woman has been arrested after three children were reportedly stabbed at a house in West Yorkshire.

Police were called to an address on Walpole Road, Huddersfield, at around 8.02am after "being made aware of a concern for safety" from the ambulance service. Officers attending the scene found two boys, a girl, and a woman all seriously injured.

It is believed that the injuries were caused by a 'bladed weapon' with all four taken to hospital for treatment. Police have also arrested a woman on suspicion of attempted murder as part of an investigation into the injured people.
