Two of the people who were hit by a van in the Nottingham attacks are in a stable condition, while a third has been discharged from hospital.
Nottinghamshire University hospitals NHS trust confirmed the condition of the three patients on Friday, after it was reported earlier in the week that one of the victims was in a critical condition.
All three were taken to hospital after being struck by a van that mounted the pavement in the early hours of Tuesday morning during a spate of attacks across the city.
It emerged on Thursday that the suspect in the attacks, which left three people dead, is a former University of Nottingham student named Valdo Amissão Mendes Calocane.
He is being held on suspicion of murder after a rampage during which Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber, both University of Nottingham students, along with school caretaker Ian Coates, were killed in the street.
Nottinghamshire police said detectives h had been granted a further custody extension and had until Saturday morning to question the suspect.
Thousands attended a vigil in Nottingham city centre on Thursday evening, during which the families of the victims made emotional tributes to their loved ones.
Emma Webber, the mother of 19-year-old Barnaby, asked the crowd to “hold no hate that relates to any colour, sex or religion” and said the culprit would “receive the retribution that he deserves”.
O’Malley-Kumar’s father, Dr Sanjoy Kumar, fought back tears as he said: “We were a four and now we are a three.”
Coates’s son, James, said his father had “touched a lot of hearts over the years, more than what we assumed and knew that he had”.
England and Australia cricketers wore black armbands at the start of the men’s Ashes test on Friday as a mark of respect for the victims, and a minute’s silence was observed.
Police confirmed the suspect was a former University of Nottingham student, but said “this is not believed to be connected with the attack”. The university said it was “devastated” by the news.
Sources said the suspect was born in Guinea-Bissau and came to the UK legally and that from the age of no older than seven he settled in Nottingham, where he was educated. He is understood to have a history of mental health issues and was previously known to police.
On Thursday afternoon, the home secretary, Suella Braverman, visited the city to pay tribute to the victims, laying a wreath at Nottingham Council House with a handwritten message to their families saying: “We are with you.”
