A man was stabbed in Boscombe on Wednesday night.
It comes just hours after another man was found with serious head injuries in Churchill Road.
Police say the incidents are not believed to be connected.
In the second incident, police were called by the ambulance service at 8pm last night to Windsor Road, following reports a man had suffered stab wounds to his upper body.
The injured man, who is aged in his 20s, was taken to Southampton General Hospital by air ambulance for emergency treatment.
His condition was initially described as potentially life-threatening but police have now described his injuries as serious.
Officers carried out a search of the area but no arrests have been made.
A cordon is in place in Cecil Road while a full examination of the scene is carried out.
Detective Inspector Neil Wright, of Bournemouth CID, said: “I am keen to speak to anyone who was in the Windsor Road area at the relevant time and who may have witnessed the incident or seen someone or a group of people running away from the scene.
“We have not yet been able to speak to the victim to ascertain whether he knows who is responsible for this serious assault.
“I appreciate this incident is understandably concerning for local residents and I would like to reassure them that a full and thorough investigation is underway.”
Extra police patrols will be put in place.
Contact police on 101.
