Teen Stabbed at NUAST Campus
A 15-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital with serious stab wounds after an attack at Nottingham University Academy of Science and Technology (NUAST) on Dunkirk Road.
Nottinghamshire Police were called to the scene at 1:36pm on Thursday. Another 15-year-old boy was arrested immediately in connection with the stabbing.
Victim and Suspect Known to Each Other
A police spokesperson confirmed both pupils knew each other. “There is no wider threat to any other pupils at the school,” they added.
Police and School Respond
Supt Chris Pearson said: “This is obviously an unsettling incident to occur on school grounds, and we are working closely with NUAST.”
He continued, “His injuries are currently believed to be serious. His family will be supported by specially trained officers while a thorough investigation is underway.”
“We know this is likely to cause alarm and distress across our local community, especially for parents and pupils in the area. This incident is not linked to any national ‘School Wars’ social media posts,” Pearson added.
Police will work closely with the school in the coming days to establish the full facts.
