    A man was stabbed in the Mayfield Grove area of Harrogate last night (May 12).

    North Yorkshire Police said in a statement today it received reports that a man had suffered stab wounds just before 7.30pm last night.

    The statement added:

    "Officers attended and found a man had suffered an injury to his hand.
    "A short time later two men were arrested in connection with the incident. A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of robbery and a 32-year-old man was arrested for wounding with intent. Both currently remain in police custody.
    "Following the incident, the victim received treatment in hospital for minor injuries.


    Police reassured residents today by describing it as an "isolated incident".

    Superintendent Teresa Lam, senior commander for the Harrogate district, said:

    “Thankfully incidents of this nature are extremely rare in Harrogate, and they will not be tolerated. An investigation is now underway to establish the full circumstances.
    "I would like to stress that we are treating this as an isolated incident and do not believe that there is any ongoing wider threat to the general public."




    However, it is not the first serious incident in the Mayfield Grove area in recent years.

    Vitalijus Koreiva, 37, was jailed at Leeds Crown Court in 2022 for murdering Gracijus Balciauskas in a flat on the road.

    In the previous year Daniel Ainsley was sentenced to 22 years in prison for murdering 48-year-old Mark Wolsey at a bedsit on the road.

    Police urged anyone with information about the latest incident or doorbell footage to call them on 101 and quote incident number 12240083406 or to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
