A 15 year old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing in Swindon.

The 17 year old victim remains in a serious condition at hospital.

Officers have been conducting extensive enquires since the incident took place just after 8pm yesterday (8 June) in Meadow Fields, Upper Stratton.

Since the incident, a section 60 order has been in place for 24 hours, covering much of the town and Highworth.

This allows officers to stop and search anyone in a specific area without needs to have reasonable grounds.
