Investigation after man stabbed in city centre
A police investigation is under way after a man was stabbed in Nottingham city centre. A man in his 30s was attacked in Market Street at about 11:50 BST and was taken to hospital with injuries that were "not thought to be life-altering or life-threatening", according to Nottinghamshire Police. Police put a cordon in place at about 12:00 and the road was closed, causing disruption to tram and bus services.

"A team of detectives is now working to understand exactly what happened in the moments before, during and after this incident," Ch Insp Humphris added. "To this end they want to hear from anyone who saw or heard any part of what happened. "We understand the concern incidents of this nature can cause and people should expect to see an increased police presence while we investigate the circumstances." Tram operator NET confirmed at 13:40 it was running a full service once again. Nottingham City Transport confirmed buses were back to their normal routes following the closure, but advised passengers of possible delays. Follow BBC Nottingham on Facebook, on X, or on Instagram.
