A police investigation is underway following a violent incident in Harrogate last night (Wednesday).
Police are appealing for witnesses following an altercation which occurred in Bilton at around 4:30pm.
After being alerted by the ambulance service, officers arrived on scene at the Nidd Viaduct and found a 17-year-old boy with lacerations.
He was taken to hospital where he is receiving treatment for injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening or life changing.
Detective Chief Inspector Carol Kirk from North Yorkshire Police said:
“There is no room for this level of violence in North Yorkshire and a full investigation is now underway.
“I would urge anyone who has any information to contact us immediately.
“The victim is receiving treatment in hospital but thankfully hasn’t suffered any serious injuries.
“Harrogate is a close community and understandably an incident like this will bring great concern to the public.
“We will be increasing patrols in the area this evening and anyone who has any concerns should speak to an officer.”
A cordon was in place between Bilton Lane and the Nidd Viaduct to allow for forensic investigation work.
