Arrest after boy, 17, stabbed in Swindon town centre brawl

The disorder erupted outside Foot Asylum in Swindon town centre

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested after another teenager was stabbed in a brawl in a town centre.

Police said a public "disorder involving a number of youths" broke out outside the Foot Asylum shop in Canal Walk, Swindon, just after 15:30 GMT on Thursday.

The boy was arrested on suspicion of affray and possession of class B drugs with intent to supply.

The other teen was taken to hospital for a suspected knife wound.

His injuries, sustained near the JD Sports shop in the same street, are not thought to be life-threatening.

A woman, in her 60s, also received minor injuries which did not require hospital treatment, police said.

Wiltshire Police launched a witness appeal on Friday, calling for anyone who may have recorded footage of the disorder to come forward.
