A teenager has appeared in court after being charged over a stabbing at a Primark store in Nottingham city centre.

A 17-year-old boy sustained non life-threatening injuries to his chest inside the store in Long Row at about 11:30 GMT on Sunday.

A 16-year-old boy, who cannot be identified due to his age, was charged with wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article in a public place and has been remanded into custody.

On Monday, he appeared at Nottingham Magistrates' Court and was given conditional bail until Wednesday.

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.

"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."
