Boy stabbed in stomach during attack involving two men on bikes

A 17-year-old boy has been hospitalised after he was stabbed in the abdomen in a residential street in Carlton.

Nottinghamshire Police was called to Deep Furrow Avenue at around 5.30pm on Sunday, August 23, after being informed of the incident by paramedics.

The force says the boy had been stabbed during an attack by two men who were on bikes.

Pictures show a police cordon just off Foxhill Road on Sunday evening following the incident, and a scene was established while investigations took place.

Detective Sergeant Mark Shaw, who is leading the investigation, said: "We were notified of the incident yesterday in Deep Furrow Avenue in Carlton.

"Two men were on bikes and attacked the victim.

"Thankfully the teenage victim has not suffered life-altering injuries. He is due to have surgery.

"Knife crime has no place on our streets and I can imagine the local community are concerned to hear reports of this nature.

"We believe this was an isolated incident where all parties were known to one another and there is no wider risk to the public.

"We are appealing for information and witnesses following the incident. If anyone saw anything suspicious please call 101, quoting incident number 576."
