Two teenagers are being questioned in connection with a stabbing in Bulwell.

It happened near the KFC restaurant in Hucknall Lane around 2.55pm yesterday (Sunday 6 October).

A 17-year-old boy was stabbed and taken to Queen’s Medical Centre for treatment. He was later discharged.

Following inquiries, officers arrested an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy last night on suspicion of affray. They remain in custody.

Detective Inspector Chris Berryman, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“While we have made two arrests in connection with this offence so far, our inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of this incident.

“It’s important anyone who saw what happened, has any relevant information, or has CCTV, dashcam or mobile phone footage that could assist our investigation comes forward as soon as possible.

“The consequences of carrying a knife can be devastating, with both the carrier and others around them all put in danger by this simple act.

“It’s exactly for this reason why Nottinghamshire Police takes each and every report we receive relating to knife crime so seriously.”
