POLICE teams are waiting to interview a woman found with serious facial injuries at a house in North Yorkshire.

A woman, named locally as Margaret Barlow, was found in a house at Ingleby Arncliffe, near to Northallerton, on Tuesday, June 16 at 4.10pm.

It is thought she was found lying at the foot of the stairs of the family home by her 11-year-old son as he came home from Ingleby Arncliffe Junior School.

She was airlifted to the James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough, by the Great North Air Ambulance.

She is believed to be a midwife at the same hospital and she was in a serious but stable condition on Thursday, June 18.

Mrs Barlow recently separated from her husband named by villagers as Steve and she has an older daughter at Stokesley School.

North Yorkshire Police are not as yet looking for anyone in connection with the incident and they are unsure as to whether it is suspicious.

Officers carried out interviews with residents near to the house on a closed off link road leading from Ingleby Arncliffe to the A19.

Anyone who can help with police enquiries should call 0845-6060-247 or Crimestoppers on 0800-555-111.
