They were held in police custody after a 19-year-old man was stabbed in Attercliffe in the early hours of last Saturday.

He was knifed once in his back and once in his armpit during a disturbance in Oakes Green, between the Sapphire Lounge and M.A Tooling on Attercliffe Road.

The six suspects, who are all from Sheffield, have since been released.
