This is an accepted version of this page In the early morning of 13 June 2023, three people were fatally stabbed and three others were injured when a van was driven into them in three connected attacks in Nottingham, a city in the East Midlands in the United Kingdom.

At around 04:00 BST, Valdo Calocane fatally stabbed two university students in the street and subsequently a school caretaker, whose van he had stolen.

[4] An anonymous eyewitness told police that he had seen the two students being attacked, heard an awful scream, and saw a man dressed in black with a hood and rucksack fighting with some people.

[5] CCTV footage was later found apparently showing the suspect attempting to break into a bedroom at Seely Hirst House hostel on Mapperley Road, less than an hour after he had attacked the two students.

[8] A man was found stabbed to death on Magdala Road in the Mapperley Park area of the city, close to Seely House Hostel.

At about 05:34, after a man approached police with a knife, he was tasered outside a convenience store in Bentinck Road, Forest Fields and was arrested on suspicion of murder.

[3][12] On 15 June, a Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust spokesman said the man left in a critical condition was now stable.

[30] But Nazir Afzal, a former chief crown prosecutor who was not involved with the case, described the decision to accept Calocane's manslaughter pleas and to give him a hospital order as appropriate.

[37] A moment of silence was held before the County Championship cricket match between Essex and Somerset, and the flag was flown at half mast with players wearing black armbands.

[8] Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Home Secretary Suella Braverman and Leader of the Opposition Keir Starmer all expressed condolences.

"[36] The Nottingham University Graduation Ball on the evening of 13 June was cancelled by student union officers due to the attacks.

[38] On 16 June, the England and Australia men's cricket teams wore black armbands as a mark of respect and observed a minute's silence, before the national anthems, at the opening day of The Ashes test series at Edgbaston.
