    A boy and a man have been taken to hospital with serious injuries after a major incident in Beckwithshaw this morning.

    Armed officers and a police helicopter were deployed at about 8.20am to a house on Church Row in the village.

    North Yorkshire Police released a statement minutes ago saying an 11-year-old boy and 40-year-old man had suffered "serious injuries believed to be sustained by a bladed article".

    Both males have been taken to hospital and police remain on the scene.

    The statement said:

    "Officers were called to a property in Church Row, Otley Road, at 8.20am today and on arrival found an 11-year-old boy and 40-year-old man with serious injuries believed to be sustained by a bladed article.
    "Both males have been taken to hospital.
    "The incident is not connected to the nearby school."


    This morning, the Stray Ferret received reports of numerous emergency services vehicles and an air ambulance attending the scene.

    A police cordon is in place and the road from the roundabout near the cricket club to the junction with Shaw Lane was closed.

    One villager told the Stray Ferret the road had reopened.
