Two men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a soldier was stabbed repeatedly in the back of the neck at Aldershot.

David Ferguson, 26, was attacked inside the Hampshire barracks just after 6am on Saturday.

Two men aged 19 and 22 are being questioned by police over the incident, which came just days after another soldier was arrested on suspicion of running over and killing two teenage joggers.

Police have said that they do not believe the two incidents are linked.
