Elderly Falmouth woman in hospital following alleged 'stabbing'
An elderly woman from Falmouth is in hospital this evening following an alleged stabbing.
The woman, understood to be in her early 70s, was airlifted to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth following a "serious incident" in Wellington Terrace earlier today.
Police officers were called there just after 8am.
Superintendent Ian Drummond-Smith wrote on Twitter that officers had arrested a "local male" on suspicion of grievous bodily harm (GBH).
A spokesperson later confirmed that a 77 year old man was being held at Camborne Police Station.
It has been reported that the woman is in a "stable condition" and that police have been quick to reassure locals that it was a "domestic incident."
