Five people have been taken to hospital after a ‘mass stabbing’ following a brawl outside of a Bournemouth college.

Two people have since been arrested on suspicion of ‘wounding with intent’, the Daily Echo reported, following a large emergency services presence.

A third person was also arrested on suspicion of assault by beating, as South Western Ambulance Service said it has took five patients to hospital.

A spokesperson for Bournemouth & Poole College said in a statement: ‘Police are currently in attendance, and our team is assisting them as required.

‘Due to the incident being a police matter, we are unable to comment further at this point in time.’

The college is a further and higher educational college based over three sites in both Bournemouth and Poole.

Student Henry Tootal, 20, told the Bournemouth Echo: ‘We saw all the police cars and three people being taken out on stretchers and [sic] people have been injured. We saw two people surrounded by armed policemen outside the hotel.’

Another woman who witnessed the incident told them: ‘I suddenly saw this mass brawl. There were 10 on each side and they were fighting.

‘I think they were two groups of college students. I saw one of them lifting another boy’s shirt up to check if he had been hurt.’
