Det Insp Ed Cook, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Clearly we understand the concern this incident has caused, with a 16-year-old boy suffering serious injuries in a knife attack.

"I would also like to reassure people that we believe this was a self-contained incident and there is no wider threat to the public. However we will have increased patrols in the area to provide further visible presence."
