<p>Nottinghamshire Police said two people were found dead in Ilkeston Road at around 4am on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The body of another victim was discovered in Magdala Road, and another three people were hurt when someone tried to run them over in a van in Milton Street.</p>
<p>A witness told the BBC he saw a young man and young woman being stabbed on Ilkeston Road, close to the junction with Bright Street.</p>
<p>The man, who did not give his name, said he heard “awful, blood-curdling screams” and looked out his window to see a “black guy dressed all in black with a hood and rucksack grappling with some people”.</p>
<p>He told the broadcaster: “She was screaming: ‘Help!’ I just wish I’d shouted something out of the window to unnerve the assailant.</p>
<p>“I saw him stab the lad first and then the woman. It was repeated stabbing – four or five times. The lad collapsed in the middle of the road.</p>
<p>“The girl stumbled towards a house and didn’t move. The next minute she had disappeared down the side of a house, and that’s where they found her.</p>
<p>“I’d say it all happened within five or six minutes. The attacker then just walked off up Ilkeston Road towards town, as calm as anything.”</p>
<p>The man said he called the police who arrived within five minutes, before paramedics tried to revive the pair for 40 minutes.</p>
<p>A 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.</p>
<p>Unverified footage showed a suspect being detained outside a convenience store in Bentinck Road.</p>
<p>Kane Brady, a student at the University of Nottingham, told GB News he saw a knife being taken from a white van after a man was arrested outside his house nearby.</p>
<p>Mr Brady said: “We woke up to shouts of ‘armed police’ and what… sounded like some very loud noises, what sounded like gunshots – it was that loud.</p>
<p>“I looked out the bedroom window and saw Tasers. I saw a man being dragged out (of the van) and pinned to the floor.”</p>
<p>Road closures have been put in place covering a wide area of Nottingham city centre, including Ilkeston Road, Milton Street, Maples Street and Woodborough Road, from the junction with Magdala Road into the city, Magdala Road and Maid Marian Way at the junction of Parliament Street.</p>
<p>The tram network was also disrupted with all services suspended on the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) as the police investigation continued.</p>
<p>Nottinghamshire Chief Constable Kate Meynell said: “This is a horrific and tragic incident which has claimed the lives of three people.</p>
<p>“We believe these three incidents are all linked and we have a man in custody.</p>
<p>“We ask the public to be patient while inquiries continue. At this time, a number of roads in the city will remain closed as this investigation progresses.”</p>
<p>The force has not yet commented on whether the attacks are being treated as terrorism.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Rishi Sunak thanked the emergency services for their response to the “shocking incident”, adding: “My thoughts are with those injured, and the family and loved ones of those who have lost their lives.”</p>
<p>Home Secretary Suella Braverman also expressed her shock at the deaths, and said she is receiving regular updates from Nottinghamshire Police.</p>
