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:
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.
