THE Hereford Times understands that the people currently under arrest in connection with two attacks in the city yesterday are UK nationals.
Many comments placed on social media sites have incorrectly claimed those in police custody are from Eastern European countries.
However, this is not true.
Two people were stabbed in the Whitecross and Hunderton areas of Hereford yesterday afternoon.
Five people were arrested at locations in Newton Farm, Hereford, and Almeley, near Kington.
There will be more on this story in tomorrow's Hereford Times.
