The Joseph Else Wetherspoon pub has confirmed it has reopened following a fight outside where a 19-year-old was stabbed.

The fight broke out following an argument at around 11pm in South Parade, Old Market Square, on Thursday, July 16.

The 19-year-old man, who suffered a stab wound to the stomach, was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre for treatment.

His injuries were described as non life-threatening.

A cordon was set up by the force outside the pub which was closed at the time while detectives investigated the scene.

The pub said it was open on Saturday morning from 8am.

Detective Inspector Ruby Burrow, of Nottinghamshire Police, said at the time: "My team is working to establish the circumstances around the incident and we would like to speak to anyone who might have seen what happened.
