A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after a teenage boy was reportedly robbed of an electric scooter at knifepoint in Bulwell.
Police were called to Ingram Road at around 5.30pm on Wednesday 3 June after the victim reported that the incident had just happened.
Nottinghamshire Police said the teenager had ridden past a group of youths at the junction of Kersall Drive and St Alban’s Road when one of them asked for a ride on his scooter.
After the victim ignored the group, some of them pursued him on another scooter.
He was then knocked off his scooter and kicked while on the ground. Police said he was also shown a knife and threatened before managing to escape into a nearby garden, where a woman helped him.
Officers searched the area and located a suspect riding a scooter, which was later identified as the one reported stolen.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of robbery and remains in custody.
Detective Constable Craig Barrow, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was an unpleasant ordeal for the young victim to go through so I’m pleased we were able to recover his scooter.
“Thankfully, he was not seriously hurt and he and his family will be offered support.
“Our inquiries remain ongoing and anyone with relevant information or footage should get in touch.”
