Police have arrested a second man in connection with stabbing at Top Valley

Extensive enquiries have been carried out into the attack and a 19-year-old man was arrested at an address in Bestwood on April 11 on suspicion of causing grievous bodily with intent.

It follows the previous arrest of a 16-year-old boy, on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, affray and possession of cannabis.

He has since been released on conditional bail while the investigation continues.

Detective Constable Alana Scott, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "This was an extremely shocking incident for the local community which saw a teenage boy injured.

"Carrying a knife is never acceptable and this incident is a clear example of why we try so hard to prevent knife crime and why we continue to work with our partners and the community to stop people carrying knives.

“I am pleased we have now made a further arrest in connection with this serious incident.

"However our extensive enquiries continue and we are urging anyone with information about what happened, who haven’t yet come forward, to please get in touch with us.

"Their information could be vital to our investigation.”
