Detectives are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward following a report of an assault in Christchurch.
Dorset Police received a report at 5.45pm on Tuesday 20 August 2024 that a girl had sustained stab wounds at an address in Glider Close.
The victim’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening and she has been taken to hospital to receive treatment.
Officers attended and a local man aged in his 20s from Christchurch has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. A local woman aged in her 50s has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. They both remain in police custody.
Chief Superintendent Stewart Dipple, of Dorset Police, said: “There is an increased policing presence in the area as officers conduct enquiries at the scene.
“I am appealing to anyone who was in the area and saw what happened, or has information to assist our investigation, to please come forward.
“Our enquiries are in the early stages and we would ask the public not to speculate at this time about the circumstances of the incident.
“I understand this will cause concern and we will have members of the neighbourhood policing team out on patrol over the coming days who can be approached by the public.”
