Police are assessing the mental health of a 19-year-old man who was detained after eight people were 'randomly' stabbed in a town centre.
Officers were called to Keighley after reports of a number of attacks in two separate incidents.
West Yorkshire Police said a 24-year-old man received stab wounds in Victoria Street at about 10.15pm on Thursday. He is in a stable condition in hospital.
Just over two hours later a second incident happened in North Street in which "a further seven members of the public received injuries caused by a knife", officers said.
A force spokesman said that of these seven, four people were detained in hospital and all are said to be in a stable condition. They are three women, aged 44, 26 and 51, and a 30-year-old man.
:eek: hope everyone will be ok
