Second teenager arrested after boy stabbed

A second teenager has been arrested after a boy was stabbed in Bristol.

The victim, also a teenager, was taken to hospital after the attack in St Pauls just before 16:00 GMT on Thursday but has since been allowed to go home.

Shortly after the incident, a teenager was held on suspicion of wounding with intent.

A second was arrested just before midday on suspicion of conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm. Both remain in custody.

Senior investigating officer Det Insp Jason Chidgey said: "It is always concerning to see young people involved in or injured through knife crime.

"I'd ask anyone who saw what happened or has relevant footage or information to get in touch.

"We're making every effort to conduct a full and thorough investigation to establish what happened and to hold those responsible to justice."

He said "reassurance patrols" would take place over the coming days, adding: "I encourage anyone with any questions or concerns to speak to one of our officers while they are out patrolling."
