Police officers were called out last night following reports of a large fight in Gedling in which a man was reportedly stabbed.
Officers say his injuries aren’t believed to be life-threatning or life-altering.
A 30-year old man has now been arrested.
The incident happened in Main Road and the area was cordoned off near the Gedling Inn, with the road being closed to traffic overnight.
A smaller cordon was put in place this morning and traffic was again allowed to pass through the village.
Detective Inspector, Pam Dowson, of Nottinghamshire Police confirmed that police had been called out to the village.
She said: “Officers were called to reports of a large fight on Main Road, Gedling at around 10pm yesterday (October 22).

A spokesperson for Gedling Inn posted a statement on their Facebook page earlier today.

Councillor Clarke is more concerned about what is going on in the nearby Christian bookshop.
What the hell has any of this got to do with the council?
