No police statement after reports of double stabbing in Milton Keynes town

Police have not yet issues any statement about two alleged stabbing incidents in Newport Pagnell, MK, on Saturday night.

But residents claimed today that two men sustained knife wounds in the town which prompted a huge turnout from emergency services between 9.30pm and 10pm last night. Police are preparing a statement on the alleged incident.

Witnesses claim the first stabbing happened near Station Road and the alleged perpetrator fled the scene.

"The person who did it, who looked like an older man, just ran away, still holding the knife. People tried to chase him. He ran right through the town, over the Iron Bridge and into Tickford Street," said one witness.

Both men were rushed to hospital and witnesses say they were told this morning that both were alive. It is understood the injuries of the older man are extremely serious.

An area of Tickford Street has been taped off throughout today as police conduct their investigation.

Thames Valley Police is investigating and will issue a statement today.

If confirmed, this will be the fourth serious stabbing incident in Milton Keynes in the past 10 weeks. Three people have so far died of knife wounds since December 27.

As yet the eyewitness reports have not been officially corroborated but we will bring you more on this as soon as we get it.
