Man arrested for attempted murder after mass brawl

A fight broke out on Dallow Road on 17 January, involving men carrying machetes and knives

A 22-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after two men were stabbed during a fight.

The man was detained on Thursday on suspicion of violent disorder and attempted murder, and two men in their 20s have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder.

The BBC has seen a video believed to show disorder in Luton, with men attacking each other using machetes and large knives.

Bedfordshire Police was called to Dallow Road shortly after 12:45 GMT on 17 January, and armed police were later seen at Luton and Dunstable Hospital after two people arrived with stab wounds.

The two groups fled the scene in a medium-size black hatchback believed to be a Vauxhall Astra and a small black hatchback believed to be a Toyota Yaris.

Lewsey Road outside the hospital was later sealed off and a witness told the BBC he had seen multiple police vehicles and officers with guns outside the A&E department.

Det Sgt Lindsey Cook previously said: "This is a violent and shocking incident which took place at a busy time of day on a busy road.

"This type of behaviour is not acceptable and we are conducting several lines of inquiry to find the suspects involved in this vicious attack."
