A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a woman was stabbed in Leicestershire.
Police were called to reports of a fight between a youth and a woman on Discovery Drive in Melton Mowbray at about 18:30 BST on Monday.
The woman in her 20s was found with serious injuries but is now in a stable condition in hospital, police said.
Officers said the two people were known to each other and no-one else was believed to have been involved.
Det Insp Jim Heggs said: "The investigation is very much in its early stages and officers are continuing to speak to residents in the area where the incident occurred.
"However, I would ask anyone who saw what happened, or has information that could help, to come forward. I would particularly urge anyone with mobile phone, doorbell or dashcam footage to contact police.
"Anything you can provide, no matter how insignificant you think it is, could assist us."
