Multiple arrests have been made after a teenager was stabbed at what police believe was a flat party in Nottingham.
Emergency services were called to an incident at an address in Hounds Gate at 11.42pm last night.
A 17-year-old boy was taken to hospital with serious injuries, which are not believed to be life-threatening. Two other people were also injured – a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl.
An 18-year-old man and four seventeen-year-old boys have been arrested and remain in custody.
Road closures remain in place on Hounds Gate, Maid Marian Way, Standard Hill and Lenton Road as investigations continue.
Detective Inspector Chris Berryman, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“We believe this incident happened during a party at a flat and we are working to understand events in the moments before, during and after what happened.
“We particularly want to hear from anyone who was inside the flat, or who witnessed people running from the scene shortly afterwards.
“Drivers with dashcam footage are also asked to get in touch if they witnessed any part of this disturbance.
“This kind of violence is utterly unacceptable, and we will do whatever it takes to bring the person or people responsible for these injuries to justice.”
Superintendent Kathryn Craner, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“I am aware that the events of last night – and recent knife related incidents in the city – will be a cause of great concern to many members of our community.
“At present, there is nothing to suggest that this incident is linked to those earlier in the week. We will however keep an open mind while the events of last night are meticulously investigated.
“We will continue to maintain a high and visible presence in the city to provide reassurance and speak with anyone who has concerns.
