A pregnant woman in her early 20s has been stabbed to death in a “completely random” street attack, police say.<\/p>\n
Humberside police were called to reports of a serious assault in Victoria Street South, Grimsby, just before 1600 BST on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The woman, who was from the town, was taken to the Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, but died from her injuries.<\/p>\n
A 53-year-old local man was arrested in connection with the incident and police are appealing for witnesses.<\/p>\n

Det Supt Christine Kelk said the woman had been stabbed in the back by a man she did not know, who had been following her.<\/p>\n
‘Tragic’<\/strong><\/p>\n “The tragic thing about this is that it was completely random,” she said.<\/p>\n “She was walking to work locally on her own at the time.”<\/p>\n Det Supt Kelk said it was raining heavily at the time of the attack and the area was likely to have been “fairly quiet”.<\/p>\n But she added: “Some members of the public were nearby at the time. Some tried to give her first aid and some went after the man.”<\/p>\n Forensics officers have examined the scene and a post-mortem examination will take place on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-239714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"\n
