Two more arrests have been made following a fight in Nottingham where a machete was later recovered.

Armed officers were called to Lower Parliament Street at about 11:40 GMT on Thursday, where a 31-year-old man and 28-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of affray later that day.

On Monday, police said they had arrested two boys, aged 16 and 14, at two city centre addresses, and they remained in police custody.

Both boys have been arrested on suspicion of affray, possession of a bladed article and being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug, said police.

Officers said a search of the 16-year-old boy's property found a machete, a quantity of cash and Class A drugs.

A third boy, aged 16, has also been arrested for being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug during a search of one of the properties.

Police said he was not connected to the knife-related incident in Lower Parliament Street.

Following the further arrests, Det Ch Insp Claire Gould, said the force was "not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident".
