A 17-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of affray which led to a teenage boy being hospitalised this morning.

The boy, also 17, was stabbed outside a property on Shirecliffe Road and received “serious, but not life-threatening or life-altering injuries”, South Yorkshire Police said. 

Many locals were unaware of the incident, but one resident said it was not uncommon for the area, and described witnessing a gun incident last November. 

Jennie Chapman, whose parents live on Musgrave Road said: “It’s not the best area. I’m not happy about it because my parents are vulnerable.”

Part of Shirecliffe Road, between Longley Avenue West and Musgrave Road was cordoned off at 6.18am but has since reopened.

The boy remains in police custody and enquiries are ongoing.
