BBC NewsTwo teenagers who were involved a stabbing after a brawl in Nottingham city centre have been sentenced.
One of the defendants, a 16-year-old boy who cannot be named because of his age, suffered serious injuries in the stabbing in Fletcher Gate at about 18:40 on 11 January this year.
Nottinghamshire Police said he was found unconscious and bleeding heavily by a member of the public.
The force praised an officer who put a tourniquet on his arm until the ambulance arrived.
At Nottingham Crown Court, he was sentenced to six years and three months in a young offenders institution after previously pleading guilty to affray and possession of an offensive weapon - and being convicted of grievous bodily harm.
A second boy, also 16, was sentenced to five years after being found guilty of grievous bodily harm, affray and possession of an offensive weapon.
In court, CCTV footage was shown of one of the boys chasing another after leaving the tram and swinging around a large machete - which was witnessed by several members of the public.
A third boy, aged 16, received treatment after suffering a deep slash wound to his thigh. He was acquitted of all charges following a trial.
Det Con Ruth Towle said: "This frightening and violent incident was witnessed by a number of people during peak hours in a busy part of the city centre.
"The actions of these boys could easily have resulted in fatal consequences."

BBC NewsNottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has spent £2m on sourcing local produce for patient meals, a sustainable food charity has said.
The Soil Association said it has been working with the trust - which serves 8,000 meals a day - to improve its food offering through its Food For Life programme.
The news comes after the government announced a review into hospital food as a result of the recent listeria outbreak, after six hospital patients died from eating pre-packaged sandwiches and salads.
Bake Off judge Prue Leith is the latest celebrity chef to be recruited in the quest to improve the food hospital patients eat.
Policy officer Rob Percival said: "We’ve worked with Nottingham University Hospitals, they’re serving around 8,000 meals a day and in the course of a year working with us they channelled £2m spend into local ingredients, so 80% of their ingredients were sourced locally, creating jobs.
"These ingredients were of higher quality, 15% of them were organic.
"And they were freshly preparing their meals and doing it on site without exceeding the average spend on hospital meals across the NHS."

Nurses at Nottingham City Hospital arranged for the hospital's chaplain to carry out a blessing after the official ceremony earlier this month, as well as decorating the ward and creating a makeshift aisle.
Mrs Adams has been in hospital for two months with cardiac and respiratory failure and was said to be "heartbroken" when she realised she would miss the wedding.
Image source, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS TrustHaving married earlier in the day, bride and groom Sarah and James West headed to the hospital ward for a second ceremony.
Staff nurse Rachel Newton said Mrs Adams, who wore the outfit she had bought for the big day, was "overwhelmed" by the gesture.
"The feedback was that the blessing on the ward was more emotional and better than their actual wedding. They are so thankful," she added.
