A woman was also found with the same type of wounds.
The four of them were rushed to hospital for treatment.
West Yorkshire Police have now confirmed a woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Natalia Skorek, 23, who lives a few doors away from the address, told how she and her mother were shocked to hear loud screams this morning.
She said: “My mum heard some screaming around 7am."
“But we thought it was the neighbours on the other side because they have kids and sometimes hear them shouting.
“So we didn’t think anything of it.

“It was only later we found what had happened.”
Another neighbour, who didn’t wish to be named, said the woman had lived at the address with her husband for around two years and they had three children.
She said: “I think the husband is a taxi driver.
“One of the children is just a few months old, the other two are older.”
Meanwhile Rehzhin Amad, 30, said: “When I found out what had happened I got so emotional and just started crying.
“All I could do was pray for them.”

“Then the mum came out and she had a blanket wrapped around her body.
“It was really upsetting to see.”
