Police are investigating reports a 12-year-old was threatened with a knife in Arnold.
The boy was walking along St Albans Road when he was approached by someone on a scooter.
At that point, he was reportedly threatened with a knife and chased up the road by the unknown male rider.
The victim wasn’t hurt but was left shaken up by the incident, just after 6.30pm on Wednesday (September 4).
Police said they were made aware of the incident the following day.
The boy’s reported attacker has been described as being aged around 14 or 15.
He was also wearing a bright green T-shirt and riding a blue Pure scooter at the time of the incident.
Police are now appealing for anyone who witnessed what happened to come forward.
Sergeant James Carrington, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This would’ve been a very scary experience for the victim, who has understandably been shaken up by this.
“We’re in the process of trying to establish all the facts about what happened, and this includes analysing all of the available CCTV.
“As part of this, we’d ask that anyone who has any footage – whether CCTV, dash-cam, or doorbell – gets in touch with us.
“We also want to hear from anyone who may have seen what happened, or has any other information.
“This can be left with the police by calling 101, quoting incident 147 of 5 September 2024, while information can also be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
