Two men were rushed to hospital with injuries to their wrist and stomach after a ‘knife incident’ at a home in Rainworth last night.
Police were called to Station Road at around 10.30pm following a report of the incident, which saw one man suffering hand injuries, and another left with injuries to his stomach.
A 33-year-old man was arrested for two counts of grievous bodily harm and remains in police custody.
Detective Constable Helen Guttridge, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Knife crime has a devastating impact on our communities and as a force we take all reports of incidents involving knives very seriously.
“Our officers did a fantastic job to arrest a man in connection with the report so quickly last night and we are now working to establish the circumstances of the incident.
“Luckily, both victim's injuries are not life-threatening or life-altering.
