Three people have been taken to hospital following a stabbing that happened in the early hours of this morning (Saturday October 22) on Lenton Boulevard.

The attack is believed to have happened at around 4.30am and Nottinghamshire Police have currently closed the road between Ilkeston Road and Derby Road.

No-one has been arrested in connection with the incident.

This follows statistics released earlier in the year which revealed knife crimes now account for almost one in 20 of all offences committed in Nottinghamshire.

Official Government statistics showed overall crime is stable – with a zero percentage change in the 12 months to March 31 compared to the year before.

However there were increases in offences where a weapon was used – up by 27 per cent to 735.

And 580 offences, around four per cent, of all crimes in Nottinghamshire involved knives.
