Two women are in hospital after suffering serious stab wounds in an attack on a bridge in Cheshire.
They were assaulted on the Runcorn-Widnes bridge at 2220 GMT on Tuesday. Passing motorists, who witnessed the stabbing, contacted the police.
Fifteen minutes after the victims, aged 19 and 44, were attacked, a third woman was punched at a house in Runcorn.
An 18-year-old man has been arrested in the Halton Road area on suspicion of attempted murder and assault.
The two stabbing victims are in Whiston hospital in a stable condition. The third woman, aged 45, was taken to hospital with facial injuries but has since been discharged.
Police had closed the Liverpool-bound lane on the bridge overnight, but all four lanes are now open.
The footbridge is still closed to pedestrians.
Pedestrians crossing the River Mersey are being taken over the bridge in small groups accompanied by officers.
Anyone with information about the attacks asked to contact police.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
