A woman has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of three children who were found with "serious stab injuries", police have said.

Officers were called to an address on Walpole Road, Huddersfield, on February 6, after they received a report of concern from the ambulance service. A four-year-old girl, a two-year-old boy and a three-month-old baby boy were found with serious stab injuries and taken to hospital, West Yorkshire Police said.

The three children were treated for their injuries at Leeds General Infirmary and are currently recovering. The two-year-old boy was the most seriously hurt, while the three-month-old baby and four-year-old girl were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
