Hillsborough Park stabbing Sheffield: Pictures reveal crime scene after police arrest boy, 13

A boy, also aged 13, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after the incident last night and remained in custody this afternoon.

Today, the scene of the incident remained sealed off with police tape, while officers remained at the location.

Two police cars were parked next to the Middlewood Road entrance to the park, close to its junction with Hawksley Avenue, with officers still on site.

Blue police tape encircled an area of bushes.

Local residents continued to go about their everyday business nearby, with many youngsters and mums walking past through the park.

Most of the park, even the areas away from the police tape, remain out of public bounds. Metal fences are still in place keeping people away from the area where the Tramlines festival rook place over the weekend, with the clear up from the event still continuing behind them.
