Two people have been arrested in connection with the stabbing of a 15-year-old boy in Leicester city centre last night (Saturday 20 April).
Police were called to Charles Street just before 10pm and found the victim, who was taken to hospital for treatment.
His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.
Following enquiries, two boys aged 16 and 15 were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Both remain in custody while an investigation into the incident continues.
Detective Sergeant Dan Robberts, from the force’s Complex Investigation Team (CIT), said: “This incident happened in the city centre, close to the bus station. While we’ve spoken to a number of people already, I’m appealing for anyone who can help but has not yet spoken to police to come forward.
“I’m keen to speak to anyone who might’ve filmed anything on their mobile phone or who saw a group of teenage boys in the area. Any details you’re able to provide, no matter how insignificant you think they are, could help.”
