Stannington stabbing: 17-year-old suffers stab wounds to back and leg

Police were called to Stannington Road, Stannington shortly after 11pm last night following reports of a stabbing.

A 17-year-old boy was found at the scene suffering stab wounds to his back and leg.

He was taken to the Northern General Hospital and later released following treatment.

Earlier today, a South Yorkshire Police spokesman confirmed two men had been stabbed in an altercation, and were both taken to hospital.

'One of the men suffered serious injuries in the incident, and the other suffered minor injuries,' he said.

It is believed these injuries were linked to the incident on Stannington Road.

The 18-year-old remains in hospital in a stable condition.

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply and remains in custody for questioning.
