A 16-year-old boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, has been charged with wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article in a public place and has been remanded into custody.

He is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court later on Monday.

Det Ch Insp Claire Gould said: “We understand the alarm this incident has caused and I’d like to reassure the public we have been working at pace to build a full picture of what had happened – and why.

“I am pleased we have now been able to charge a suspect in this case.

“As we continue to progress with our investigation, we are still urging anyone who has information which could assist us with our inquiries, who hasn’t already come forward, to please contact us as soon as possible.”
