Arrest after man seen carrying machetes in Hucknall
An 18 year old is being questioned in connection with the incident
Police have made an arrest after a man was seen carrying two machetes in Hucknall.
Officers were called to Nabbs Lane at around 3.20pm on Friday afternoon.
An 18-year-old man is being questioned on suspicion of affray at an address in the town.
Chief Inspector Chris Sutcliffe, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “While we’re pleased to have tracked down and arrested a suspect in relation to this incident, our inquiries remain very much ongoing.
“Bearing this in mind, we’d ask anyone who has any information and hasn’t come forward yet to please do so by contacting the police on 101, quoting incident 454 of 22 November 2024, or by calling Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
“Weapons have no place on the streets of Nottinghamshire. There is never an excuse for anyone to carry a knife in a public place - for the simple reason that doing this is incredibly dangerous.
“As well as obviously putting others in danger, carrying a knife also puts that person at more risk of harm too.
“We continue to take all reported incidents of knife crime extremely seriously. I would urge anyone who is aware of people carrying weapons to report it to us so we can quickly take weapons out of their hands and keep our communities safe.”
