The attack occurred at a residence on Durham Street in the Elswick area of Newcastle, with emergency services called to the scene around 18:45 GMT on Friday evening after reports of an assault on a man and a woman.
The two victims were transported to hospital, where the woman remains critically ill due to a head injury, while the man is reported to be in a stable condition. Initially, Northumbria Police arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of attempted murder. Since then, seven additional arrests have been made, bringing the total number of suspects in custody to eight.
