A boy, aged 16, is in hospital with serious injuries after a stabbing in South Yorkshire.
He was found injured on Pipering Lane, at the junction with Langdale Drive, Doncaster, shortly after 11pm on Friday, February 20.
A 51-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the stabbing.
Shortly after midnight, a 17-year-old boy attended hospital with minor injuries to his hands believed to have been caused by a knife.
He was later arrested on suspicion of criminal damage in connection with a reported incident in Amersall Road, which is currently being treated as linked to the earlier stabbing.
Detective Inspector Andrea Smith said: “We’re working hard to piece together the circumstances of Friday night’s stabbing.
“While we do not believe there to be any wider risk to the public at this time, we understand this incident will have caused significant concern locally.
“Officers will remain in the area over the coming days and I’d urge anyone who has any worries or wants to raise any questions to approach them directly as they will be happy to help wherever they can.”
