Girl, 13, 'critical' after being found stabbed next to A63 in Hessle - as six teenagers arrested

Friday, 1 November 2024 18:13

Six teenagers have been arrested after a 13-year-old girl was found with multiple stab wounds on a roadside near Hull.

Police said she was found around 6.50am on the A63 in Hessle with "life-threatening injuries" including "lacerations to her neck, abdomen, chest and back".

Four boys and two girls - aged between 14 and 17 - were quickly arrested in a nearby wooded area and are being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder.

Members of the public came to the girl's aid before emergency services arrived, Humberside Police said.

Detective Superintendent Simon Vickers said they "believe the attackers knew the victim" and the circumstances are still being investigated.

"The girl remains in hospital in critical condition and her family are being supported by officers at this difficult time," he added.

The boys arrested are aged 14, 15, 16 and 17, and the girls 14 and 15.
