Norfolk police are continuing their investigations into the incident, which happened at around 6am on Saturday, and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

The incidents took place in an alleyway near to the car park at Jollyes pet food store, on Yaxham Road.

The victims were approached by a man who stabbed them before leaving the scene.

They were treated by paramedics before being taken to Norfolk and Norwich Hospital for further treatment but were both released later the same day.

Their injuries were not life-threatening.

A female in her 40s from the Dereham area was arrested in connection with the incident and has been released on police bail to return on Monday, November 28.
