Fourth attempted murder arrest after boy stabbed

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a teenager was stabbed in Nottingham.

Police said a 16-year-old boy suffered multiple stab wounds in the attack in Carlton Road, near King Edward Park in Sneinton, on 26 June.

Three 16-year-old boys were detained the following day on suspicion of attempted murder and released on bail with strict conditions along with a 14-year-old girl held on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Nottinghamshire Police said a 15-year-old boy is in custody after being arrested on Thursday on suspicion of attempted murder.

Det Insp Ian Smith said: "This was a shocking assault that left a teenager with multiple stab wounds and injuries that could potentially impact him for the rest of his life.

"Our officers have continued to conduct inquiries throughout this week and have now managed to arrest a fourth person on suspicion of attempted murder.

"While we completely appreciate any incident involving knives will cause concern within the communities where they happen, we hope news of this further arrest will provide people with some reassurance.

"Inquiries are still very much ongoing into this assault, so we'd ask anyone who has any information about what happened, but hasn't shared it yet, to please do so."
