A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder as detectives continue to investigate a stabbing in Nottingham city centre.
Officers detained the 26-year-old at an address in Derby yesterday (Tuesday 25 June 2024). He remains in custody while inquiries continue.
It comes after officers arrested five people over a fight which broke out in Wilford Street, Nottingham city centre, just before 4 am on Sunday 23 June.
Two people sustained stab injuries and were taken to hospital. Their injuries are not currently believed to be life-threatening.
Five men, aged 24, 32, 35, 37, and 40 were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder. They were subsequently released on conditional bail as detectives progress with their investigation.
Detective Sergeant James Hirst, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We’ve now arrested a further suspect in connection with our ongoing investigation and I hope our robust response provides reassurance to the public about just how seriously we take reports of this nature.
“As a force we remain committed to driving down violence and weapon-enabled crime in our communities. “This kind of disorder is utterly unacceptable, and we are determined to bring all those involved to justice.
“While we have made a further arrest, we would still like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who may have CCTV, dashcam, or mobile phone footage which could assist us with our ongoing investigation.”
Anyone who saw what happened or has any footage which could assist detectives with their investigation is urged to contact the police by calling 101, quoting incident number 99 of 23 June 2024, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
