Police arrested two teenagers after a fight broke out and a knife was pulled in an attack in Huddersfield town centre last night (Weds).
Officers cordoned off the bottom of St George's Square in front of the train station after they were called to the scene on a nearby street.
It's understood that two got into a fight and one pulled out of a knife, attacking the other. Police have said two people were treated in hospital for their injuries. A 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy have been arrested in connection.
One eyewitness who was walking past at the time said he saw blood on the floor of a takeaway on John William Street.
He said: “There was blood all over the floor in Shaam Spice and I saw them handcuff a bloke who had blood all over his hands... crime scene detectives were taking photos of all the cordoned off areas last night.”
