Suspects have been arrested after reports a teenager was injured with a knife during a supermarket fight in Nottingham.

Police were called to the Tesco Extra store in Jennison Street, Bulwell, at about 21:10 GMT on Monday.

One teenager suffered an injury to his thumb and received first aid treatment.

Six boys - aged 14 to 17 - were arrested on suspicion of affray and remain in police custody.

It comes as officers arrested three suspects inside the store, while three others were tracked down by a police helicopter in the woodland nearby.

Det Sgt Lisa Jones said the store was busy at the time, so the fight would have been seen by a number of people.

"As we work to understand exactly what happened, we want to hear from anyone who was in the supermarket and could have important information," she said.

A Tesco spokesperson said on Tuesday the store was open as normal.
