A 17-YEAR-OLD boy was stabbed at a late night flat party near Nottingham Castle – with five teenagers arrested.
Emergency crews swarmed to an address in Hounds Gate at just after 11.40pm on Friday.
Cops said the boy’s injuries are not thought to be life threatening, while two others, another boy, 17, and a girl, 16, were also hurt.
An 18-year-old man and four 17-year-old boys have been arrested on suspicion on affray.
Detective Inspector Chris Berryman, of Nottinghamshire Police, said yesterday: “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.
“If you believe or know that someone may possess or carry a weapon, it is vital that you report this to us to help protect and save lives.
“You can also remain completely anonymous in reporting this, or any concerns, by contacting CrimeStoppers on 0800 555111 or making a report online.”
