Police were arrested several times after a boy was stabbed near Nottingham Castle.

Police said an emergency service was called to the Hound Gate in downtown Nottingham on Friday at 23:42 GMT, and a 17-year-old boy was taken to the hospital and was seriously injured.

Nottinghamshire police said an incident involving a 17-year-old second boy and a 16-year-old girl during a party in an apartment was also injured.

The force added that an 18-year-old man and four 17-year-old boys were arrested and detained on suspicion of assault.

At Hounds Gate, the Hounds Gate on Maid Marian Way, Standard Hill and Lenton Road retains the road closure.

However, Maid Marian Way is open to traffic.

The closed lockdown has blocked access to Nottingham Castle, and the landmark is currently closed to the public when the area is under investigation.

The notice on the Castle website states: “Nottingham Castle was temporarily closed on Saturday, March 1, 2025 due to the closure of roads in the area.

“Please check our website all day for updates.”

Forensic officials were at the scene Saturday morning, with police activities taking place on the castle ground and inside the hound door.

Police said there was no harm from the boy who was believed to be life-threatening.

Det Insp Chris Berryman said: “We believe this event took place during the gathering in the apartment and we are working to understand what happened before, during and after.

“We especially want to hear anyone in the apartment or witness someone running around from the scene soon after.”

The troops urged witnesses to get in touch.
