“Detectives are investigating what happened as a matter of urgency and are working at speed to identify all the young people involved.
“I urge anyone who recognises them to get in touch with as soon as possible. Although incidents of this nature are rare, we fully understand the concern they cause in the community.
“I want to reassure everybody about just how seriously we are treating this incident.
“We are working every day to remove weapons from our streets and also to educate young people about the dangers of carrying them.
“Incidents of this nature underscore just how important that work is and why it is such a high priority for Nottinghamshire Police.”
