Emergency crews responded to a knife attack outside Nottingham College on Canal Street, Nottingham, just after 11.30am on Thursday, February 2. The incident involved a group of youths engaged in a scuffle.
A 16-year-old boy was rushed to Queen’s Medical Centre with a knife wound but has since been discharged. Two other males were also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Following the attack, one 16-year-old boy has been charged with affray and remanded in custody. He is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Monday, February 6.
Earlier, two other suspects faced the same court. They are 18-year-old Ayo Ajayi from The Meadows and a 17-year-old unnamed boy. Both are charged with affray and possession of a bladed or sharply pointed article. Ajayi remains in custody while the 17-year-old was granted conditional bail. Their next court date is yet to be scheduled.
