It is believed that three men, who were known to each other, were involved in an altercation. One of the men has then allegedly stabbed the other two with a knife before fleeing the scene.

The air ambulance attended to assist treatment of the men however neither man is thought to have life-threatening injuries. One man was taken to Lister Hospital and the other to Addenbrookes Hospital, in Cambridge, for further treatment.
