A man has been arrested after a stabbing outside a Co-op in Gedling.

A large cordon was in place on Westdale Lane East, outside the retailer, following the incident at 10.30pm on Tuesday, May 6.

The victim, a man in his 30s, has been taken hospital with serious injuries and remains there for treatment.

Early on Wednesday morning, Notts Police then issued an appeal for the public’s help in finding a man wanted in connection with the attack.

Now they have confirmed a 45-year-old suspect was detained in the Bakersfield area of Nottingham at 2.39pm on Wednesday.

Superintendent James Woolley, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a shocking incident and our thoughts this afternoon remain with the victim and his family.

“Multiple officers, supported by colleagues from across the force, have worked tirelessly to bring this man into custody and I am grateful to them all for their efforts.

“Our investigation into what happened last night will now continue but we are not looking for any other suspects.”
