Teenager appears in court after street fight

A teenager has appeared in court after a fight in the street.

Police were called to Cavendish Street, Arnold, at around 5.45pm on Sunday (30 July) following reports of an assault.

When officers arrived at the scene they found a teenage girl had suffered stab wounds. She was taken to hospital with injuries that are not currently believed to be life-altering or life-threatening.

Officers quickly located a suspect in a nearby street.

A 17-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has now been charged with assault occasioning grievous bodily harm, possession of a knife in a public place and possession of a Class B drug.

She appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (1 August) and will next appear at the same court on 16 August.

Detective Sergeant Lauren Morgan, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We responded quickly to this incident and I hope this arrest and charge offers reassurance to members of the public.

“Carrying a knife can have tragic consequences and the force is committed to taking weapons off the streets and keeping people safe.”
