Another two teenagers have been taken into police custody in relation to the stabbing at a house party in a flat on Hounds Gate, Nottingham, on Friday evening (28 February).
The two individuals, a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, have been interviewed by investigating officers. They are among the teenagers previously reported to have been injured in the incident and were also arrested on suspicion of affray.
Officers were called to the scene at 11.42pm on Friday, where a 17-year-old boy was taken to hospital with serious injuries, which were not believed to be life-threatening. He remains in hospital.
The 18-year-old man and four 17-year-old boys who were previously arrested on suspicion of affray have been released on bail with conditions not to enter the city centre. This condition also applies to the 16-year-old girl.
The 17-year-old boy who has now been taken into custody remains there, and the closure in place on Hounds Gate has been removed.
