A 16-year-old boy has appeared in court charged with a serious assault on another teenager.
The victim, aged 17, suffered stab wounds after the incident in Coleby Road, Broxtowe, on Sunday 14 May.
Officers attended after reports the victim had been stabbed in the stomach as he cycled down the road at around 4.45pm.
The offender fled before the victim dropped his bicycle and ran home to seek help.
The victim required hospital treatment but it is not currently believed his injuries are life-altering or life-threatening.
The suspect, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a knife in a public place.
He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Saturday (20 May) and was remanded into secure youth accommodation.
Detective Sergeant Sarah Gregg, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a very serious assault and I hope our response in locating, arresting and charging this suspect provides reassurance to the community.
“The victim required surgery in hospital and, as so often with any knife crime, the consequences could have been even worse.”
