In Glasgow a 13-year-old boy was attacked and left suffering stab wounds during a lunchtime “disturbance” in Kilmarnock Road, near Shawlands Academy, where the injured boy was found.
The attacks come as forces across the country are taking part in Operation Sceptre to try and get knives off our streets.
The teenager was taken to hospital by ambulance, and officers have arrested a 15-year-old boy in connection with the incident.
It is understood that the 13-year-old boy had sustained stab wounds to his stomach and knees.
