A Top Valley mum spoke of panic in the area after word of a serious assault began to spread. Officers were called to Charlock Close, Top Valley, shortly after 4pm today (Wednesday 16 March 2022).
A male has been taken to hospital and a cordon remains in place. Amy Duke, a mum who lives in the area, said she initially thought it was her son who had been attacked.
"My friend messaged me saying a boy had just been stabbed," said the 30-year-old. "I've never been so scared in my life, I just started crying. She said 'where is your son?' I've never ran so fast in my life."
