Four people have been arrested after a man sustained a slash wound in a street fight in Sneinton, Nottingham.

A machete was reportedly brandished in the incident on Trent Road yesterday (30th April).

Police said several men were involved in a fight just after 6:40pm.

The victim's injuries are not thought to be life-altering and were sustained to his arm during the incident.

An 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Three men – aged 20, 20 and 21 – were all arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill.

The 21-year-old suspect and one of the 20-year-old suspects were additionally arrested for affray.

Detective Chief Inspector Claire Gould, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “While we’ve made four arrests in connection with this incident, we’re still trying to establish exactly what happened.

“On that note, we’d ask that anyone who witnessed this incident unfold contacts us to tell us what they saw.

“We’d also like to hear from anyone who has any information they think could assist with our investigation.

“That includes any CCTV, dash-cam, phone, or doorbell footage that they may have inadvertently recorded.”
