Man dies at scene of fatal stabbing in Nottingham as man arrested
Nottinghamshire Police were called to the Highbury Vale tram stop in Basford at around 11.10am on Monday June 26.
Officers, who arrived within minutes, confirmed that a man in his 30s was stabbed on board a tram approaching the stop and died at the scene.
One man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody.
A police spokesperson said the stabbing was an isolated incident, that they are not looking for anyone else and that there is no risk to the wider public.
A cordon remains in place at the scene this afternoon, they added.
Kate Meynell, chief constable of Nottinghamshire Police, said this morning’s attack was “tragic”.
She added: “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.”
Nottingham Express Transit (NET), which operates the city’s tram network, said there are no Hucknall/Toton services between Wilkinson Street and Bulwell.
Phoenix Park and Clifton South services are running through, they added. Yellow line NCT buses are accepting tickets and passes for travel, however, East Midlands Railway trains are not.
