Two people attacked in their own home in Oldham

    Officers have launched an investigation after two women attacked two people in their own home.

    At around 6.35pm on Tuesday 20 June, police were called to reports that two women had forced their way into a flat on Eldon Street in Oldham, brandishing knives and a hammer.

    The women, wearing what has been described as burkhas as a disguise, attacked the occupants of the flat and a 20-year-old woman was taken to hospital with cuts to her arms and two deep knife wounds to her torso.

    A 19-year-old woman was also taken to hospital with knife wounds to her left arm and armpit.

    The attack spilled out into the walkway immediately outside of the flat before the offenders ran away from the scene.

    The injured women are receiving treatment in hospital and remain in a stable condition.

    Officers attended and recovered two knives and a hammer at the scene.

    A 25-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. Both remain in custody for questioning.
