A teenager is being treated in hospital after suffering "numerous" knife injuries, police say.
Officers found the 19-year-old in Hartlepool's Grainger Street at about 18.40 GMT on Sunday.
Cleveland Police say he suffered serious injuries to his arms and is in a stable condition at Middlesbrough's James Cook University Hospital.
Two men, dressed in dark clothing, were believed to have been travelling in a van shortly before the teenager was stabbed, the force added.
They exited the vehicle and left the area in the direction of Turnbull Street.
Det Con Ben Walton, from Hartlepool CID, said officers were keen to speak to anyone with information about the incident or who saw any suspicious activity.
