Pictures show police at the scene this morning after a teenage boy was stabbed in Sheffield.
South Yorkshire Police deployed officers after receiving an emergency call about an incident in Market Square, Woodhouse, in Sheffield last night.
The force said this morning that a 14-year-old boy was taken to hospital with serious injuries which were not believed to be life threatening, following the incident.
Pictures taken this morning show police tape stretched around the Market Square area, and several police officers on the scene as they continue the investigation into the incident, which officers say was reported at 9.52pm last night.
A web of blue and white tape could be seen sealing off the shops in the pedestrianised area near the Cross Street/ Tannery Street bus stop, with the tape fastened to several of the old fashioned style lampposts which are sited in the area.
It was also tied to a number of the benches, which are usually used as seating for shoppers in the area, which is also close to pubs and cafes.
Uniformed officers wearing hi-vis were walking around the cordon, while patrol cars were also seen driving around the area.
Officers said the cordon would remain while officers continue investigations.
Yorkshire Ambulance Service this morning also confirmed they were sent to the scene.
They told The Star: “Ambulance resources responded to a concern for safety incident in Woodhouse, Sheffield on Wednesday evening. One patient was conveyed to hospital.”
