Police have arrested a man after a teenager suffered serious injuries when he was stabbed at a private party in Top Valley.
Officers were called to the Duke of St Albans pub on Bewcastle Road at around 11.15pm on Saturday 2 October after receiving reports that a man had been stabbed.
Police have now arrested a 22-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder.
He remains in custody as enquires continue.
The 16-year-old victim was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries, and remains in hospital in a stable but critical condition.
Detective Inspector Steven Wragg, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We have now arrested a man in connection with a stabbing which has left a teenager in critical condition.
“It Is believed this was a targeted attack and not an incident which affects wider public safety, although clearly it is concerning for the community when serious incidents like this happen and we would like to reassure the public that we are using a large amount of resources to investigate this incident.
“Our thoughts are with the victim and his family at this time, and we are continuing to work hard to establish what happened and the facts around the case.
“We would like to urge anyone with anyone information that could help the investigation to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 758 of 2 October 2021 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
