TWO people are in hospital and police have launched a manhunt after a stabbing in the centre of Swindon.

The man and a woman who are both local, are said to be in a stable condition following the incident at a house in Morse Street on Monday.

A police spokesman said officers were called to the property at around 11am and found the victims had been stabbed with a bladed weapon by a man they knew.

“We are currently looking for the suspect,” he added.
