A suspect has been charged after a man was allegedly stabbed multiple times following a night out.
The victim, a man aged in his 20s, was reportedly attacked in Burton Street, Nottingham city centre, just before 2.10am on 27 August 2021.
He received a number of wounds to his body and needed 25 stitches for his injuries.
Following extensive enquiries a man was arrested on Saturday morning (4 September 2021) in connection with the alleged attack.
A 38-year-old man from Alfreton Road, the Arboretum, has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent and being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.
He is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court today (Monday 6 September 2021).
Detective Sergeant Lee Cattell, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: “As a force we take knife crime incredibly seriously and will always look to take appropriate action against individuals who are believed to have committed offences.
“Just one knife offence can have devastating impacts on so many people which is why Nottinghamshire Police continues to work tirelessly all year round, working closely with its partners, to prevent and tackle knife crime, reduce violence and take positive action to keep our communities safe.”
Nottinghamshire Police’s relentless proactive work to combat knife crime involves bringing together all aspects of education, engagement and enforcement.
The force’s dedicated knife crime teams are continuing to make inroads by removing dangerous weapons from the streets, tackling those suspected to be involved in violence and crime and keeping people safe.
Specialist schools and early intervention officers will also be continuing their work by engaging and working with children, encouraging young people to live positive knife-free lives.
Another key driver helping to steer young people away from knife crime and violence is Nottinghamshire’s Violence Reduction Unit which continues to work with vulnerable individuals and families to help understand the root causes of violent crime, make a difference to young lives and put them on the road to a safer and more positive future.
