Three people have died and another three injured following a series of attacks in the UK city of Nottingham early on Tuesday morning.

There is still a lot we do not know, and we are trying to pull together a clear picture of how things unfolded as details emerge.

Here is what we know so far.

What happened?
Two people were found dead in Ilkeston Road, west of Nottingham's city centre, just after 04:00 BST.

In another incident, a van attempted to run over three people in Milton Street in the city centre. They were all taken to hospital.

A man was also found dead in Magdala Road, about a 10-minute drive away.

Police are linking all three deaths. At the moment, they aren't giving us any more timings beyond the 04:00 incident.

A 31-year-old man was arrested in Bentinck Road on suspicion of murder, and he remains in police custody.

There is no information at the moment about whether or not the incident was terror-related.

What do we know about the victims?
Very little at the moment. According to one eyewitness, the pair who were stabbed in Ilkeston Road were a "girl, and a man or boy" who "looked quite young".

No details have emerged so far about the man found dead in Magdala Road.

Police said the three injured in Milton Street were taken to hospital, with one man in a critical condition and the other two believed to have minor injuries.

One eyewitness, who saw a man and woman struck by a van, said: "The woman was sitting up on the kerb - she looked OK. The man was laying down but then he got up.

"But I just can't believe he was able to get up."
