A woman has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of three children – the youngest of which was just three months old – who were found with “serious stab injuries”.

Officers were called to an address on Walpole Road in Huddersfield on February 6, after receiving a report of concern from the ambulance service. A four-year-old girl, a two-year-old boy and a three-month-old baby boy were found with serious stab injuries and taken to hospital, West Yorkshire Police said.

The three children were treated for their injuries at Leeds General Infirmary and are currently recovering.
