Police are appealing for additional witnesses to come forward after a teenage motorcyclist was seriously injured in Worksop.
Emergency services were called to Kilton Hill at 12.38pm on Wednesday (22 April) following reports of an incident involving two motorcycles and a van.
One of the motorcyclists, a teenage boy, remains in hospital with serious injuries.
Detectives launched an investigation following the incident and have been carrying out extensive inquiries ever since.
This resulted in the arrest of a 54-year-old man on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving that same day.
Officers then searched an address in Carlton in Lindrick where a noxious substance was seized.
The suspect was further arrested on suspicion of possession of a weapon for the discharge of a noxious substance.
He has since been released on bail with conditions.
Officers are now asking for any additional witnesses to come forward, including those who have any relevant CCTV or dashcam footage.
This includes from the surrounding area before the incident took place in Kingsway and Kilton Road.
Detective Inspector Jackie Price, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“This incident happened on a busy road and will have been witnessed by other people.
“So if you saw what happened and have yet to get in contact with us, please don’t assume that others have already told us what you saw.
“We are working to build up a complete picture of what happened and are particularly keen to review any CCTV or dashcam footage across Kilton Hill, Kingsway and Kilton Road around the time of the incident.
“Finally, I would also like to thank the members of the public for the assistance they gave at the scene.
“This was a distressing incident for everyone involved and I would ask that people do not speculate on what has happened.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident 294 of 22 April 2026, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
