Man released on bail after two hurt in Mansfield knife attack

Police said the pair, aged in their forties, suffered ‘cut injuries’ and were taken to hospital for treatment, but their injuries ‘are not life-threatening’.

Nottinghamshire Police said officers were called to a property on Welbeck Street, on Tuesday, November 2, shortly before 9pm.

Detectives believe the incident, which happened inside a house, involved people known to each other.

A 23-year-old man was arrested shortly afterwards on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm, while a 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray.

The 23-year-old has now been released on bail as investigations continue, while the 42-year-old will face no further action.

Detective Constable Chris Grundy, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Although incidents of this kind are thankfully rare, we understand the alarm they can cause in the local community.

“I would like to reassure people this was a self-contained incident and there is no wider risk to the public.”
