A suspect has been charged following a stabbing at Nottingham’s Primark store.
A 17-year-old boy suffered a wound to his chest after he was stabbed inside the shop, in Long Row, at about 11.30 am yesterday (Sunday).
The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics and was taken to hospital with injuries that are serious but not currently believed to be life-threatening. His condition is stable.
A 16-year-old, who can’t be identified for legal reasons, was arrested a few hours after the incident. He has since been charged with both wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article in a public place and has been remanded into custody.
He is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court today (Monday, 24 February).
Detective Chief Inspector Claire Gould, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“We understand the alarm this incident has caused, and I’d like to reassure the public that we have been working at pace to build a full picture of what happened – and why.
“I am pleased we have now been able to charge a suspect in this case.
“As we continue to progress with our investigation, we are still urging anyone who has information that could assist us with our inquiries, who hasn’t already come forward, to please contact us as soon as possible.”
