Both victims, who were attacked at around 9.30pm, are in their thirties. Two other men were also treated for injuries and remain under arrest.
The following day Eagle Park School, a special school on Park Place was forced to close as police continued their investigations with Manor Gardens also inside a cordon. Residents are being asked to avoid the Manor Gardens area 'if at all possible'.
