Detectives are continuing their investigation following a stabbing at a Nottingham school.
Response officers arrived at Nottingham University Academy of Science and Technology (NUAST), in Dunkirk Road, Lenton, within minutes following a call at 1.36pm on Thursday (5 March).
A 15-year-old boy was taken to hospital with a stab wound. His injuries are not currently believed to be life-threatening in nature but he remains in hospital.
Another boy, aged 15, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of committing grievous bodily harm and possession of a knife in a public place.
