A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “Officers were called to reports of a 16-year-old involved in an altercation and it looks like he’s been stabbed.

“He’s been taken to hospital but his injuries aren’t believed to be life-threatening or life-altering.”

A member of staff at a neighbouring barbers told The Star: “I saw all the staff from 1stanbul stood outside and the lights were turned off and there was tape around that area.

“I was led to believe that it had taken place in the barber shop."
