Two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing in student accommodation at the University of Warwick last night.

A 19-year-old was found with stab wounds after police were called to the Scarman Road flat at 4.32pm yesterday (November 17).

A man from Kings Langley, Hertfordshire and a woman from London, both 18, were arrested by police.

The victim was taken to hospital and his injuries and not thought to be life-threatening.

The university posted on Twitter last night: "We want to reassure those concerned by a continued police presence around Sherbourne that there is no danger to students or staff.

"We can confirm an incident has taken place that has since concluded."

Other students were evacuated from the halls by Warwickshire Police officers and spent the night in alternative accommodation.

Detective Inspector Cawail Wong from Warwickshire Police CID said: "This was a serious incident in which a young man has suffered stab wounds. I would appeal to anyone with information about it to contact police."

Anyone with information in the incident is asked to contact Warwickshire Police on 101 quoting incident 276 of 17 November 2021.
