Police have arrested three teenagers in connection with a brawl in Leicester's Abbey Park in which men were reportedly armed with knives and an axe.
A Leicestershire Police spokeswoman confirmed today that three 16-year-old men were in custody and were being questioned about the incident, which happened on Bank Holiday, May 6.
Two groups of men – some reportedly armed with knives and an axe – were involved in a running brawl.
Witnesses called police to report that two gangs of men were attacking each other.
Some of the callers suggested the men were armed with knives and, in one case, an axe.
Police believe up to a dozen men were involved in the running fight, which appears to have broken out near Abbey Road at about 6.20pm.
Detectives have spoken to hospitals and other health services in an effort to trace anyone who has sought treatment for stab wounds or any similar injuries.
