Attempted murder arrests continue after brawl

Two more people have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a man suffered life-threatening injuries following a street fight.

Police were called at about 20:30 BST on Saturday to reports of a large group fighting on Knoll Close in Stocksbridge, Sheffield, with one person reportedly being in possession of a knife.

A woman aged 35, and man, 37, were arrested at the weekend, and two men both aged 30 were also taken into custody on Monday.

One of the younger men was also arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

Det Ch Insp Andy Knowles said the investigation into the incident was moving "at pace".

He appealed for witnesses to get in touch and added: "Any information, no matter how small, could help and be the missing piece to this puzzle."

The 34-year-old man who is in critical condition was also arrested before he was taken to hospital, South Yorkshire Police said.

A referral will be made to the Professional Standards Department and the Independent Office for Police Conduct in line with normal procedure, the force added.
