Detective Inspector Chris Berryman, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was an appalling incident, in the middle of the day, outside a busy city centre venue. Officers and members of the public will share a sense of revulsion to see knives being wielded in such a reckless fashion on our streets...We need people to understand that carrying a knife does not protect you and can have devastating consequences for individuals and their families."
