Appeal for witnesses following stabbing in York

Two men have been arrested following a stabbing incident on Lady Pecketts Yard, just off The Stonebow in York, which occurred shortly before 1am on Sunday 16 November.

One man remains in hospital receiving treatment for his injuries. His condition is described as stable. The second man has been released on police bail while enquiries continue.

We are appealing for witnesses and information to support our investigation.

In particular, we would like to speak to the driver and passengers of a dark Toyota Corolla taxi which picked up a fare directly outside Pizza Hut on Stonebow/Pavement in York at around 12.40am on 16 November.

We would like to stress that these individuals are being treated as witnesses, not suspects.

If you believe you were one of the occupants of this taxi, were in the area at the time and noticed anything suspicious or have doorbell or dash-cam footage that may have captured relevant activity, please contact North Yorkshire Police by emailing [email protected] or by calling 101.

Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on their website.
