Police have arrested two men on suspicion of attempted murder after emergency crews rushed to the scene of a reported 'stabbing'.

The incident allegedly happened around 6.30pm on Tuesday on Cargo Fleet Lane, close to Netherfields.

Multiple emergency service crews attended including the North East Ambulance Service and the Great North Air Ambulance Service.

A man, in his 30s, was taken to hospital with a suspected stab wound following the 'commotion'.

He was transported to hospital via road ambulance where he remains.

Two men aged 19 and 20 have now been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Both men were taken into police custody.

The volunteers of the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team have been called into action in our area.

The team were contacted by Cleveland Police on Wednesday afternoon to assist in the search for two children who had been reported missing in the Dunsdale area, north of Guisborough.

Three team vehicles and a number of team members were deployed to a rendezvous-point in the area.

However, after a short while the team was stood-down by the Police as they had safely located the missing children.

21 Team members were involved in the call-out which lasted for approximately 1.5 hours.

Ground has officially been broken on a vast £400m factory at the former Redcar steelworks, which is hoped will create 750 new jobs.

Korean firm SeAH Wind Ltd marked the start of work at Teesworks yesterday in a ceremony featuring the South Korean ambassador, Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen, and business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng.

The start of work was officially marked with drilling commencing at the vast flattened 90 acre site after the signing of contracts.

The huge plant will produce bases for offshore wind turbines, becoming the first scheme driven by the private sector at a UK freeport.

Officials say the facility is expected to produce between 100 and 150 monopiles every year transported out to the North Sea from the £107m South Bank quay which is under construction at the moment.
