Arrest as man dies after being stabbed on tram

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a male in his 30s was fatally stabbed aboard a tram, Nottinghamshire Police said.

The force said officers arrived at Highbury Vale tram stop shortly after 11.10am on Monday, where the victim died at the scene. One man was arrested and remains in police custody.

Chief Constable Kate Meynell, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “What happened at Highbury Vale this morning is tragic and has resulted in the death of a man in his 30s.

“We know there were other passengers on board at the time and understand how frightening this must have been for anyone who saw what happened. Our officers were at the scene quickly and detained a suspect. He remains in police custody.

“This was an isolated incident and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with what happened this morning.”

A spokesman for East Midlands Ambulance Service said: “We received a call at 11.11am on 26 June to Highbury Vale tram stop in Basford. The caller reported a medical emergency.

“We sent two paramedics in fast response cars and two crewed ambulances. The air ambulance was also in attendance.”
