Police say two men spent the night in hospital after they were found with stab wounds on the 0-100 block of Primrose Street in Dartmouth.

Officers found them after someone asked a patrol officer for help around 2:30 a.m. The victims' injuries affected their extremities and aren't considered life threatening.

Emergency response team members arrested four people — three men and a woman — a short time later around Catherine Street and Farrell Road.

Police say they're still investigating and the suspects remain in custody.
