Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Jason Chidgey said: “It is always concerning to see young people involved in or injured through knife crime. I’d ask anyone who saw what happened or has relevant footage or information to get in touch.
“We’re making every effort to conduct a full and thorough investigation to establish what happened and to hold those responsible to justice.
“Members of the public can expect to see continued reassurance patrols taking place over the coming days. I encourage anyone with any questions or concerns to speak to one of our officers while they are out patrolling.”
