Two boys arrested after 'disorder' at Shrewsbury B&M shop results in teenager needing stitches
Two youths have been arrested after a boy was left needing stitches in his arm following “disorder” at a B&M Bargains shop.
The incident happened at the store in Brixton Road, Harlescott, Shrewsbury yesterday evening (Wednesday, June 25).
Police were called at around 5.25pm to an altercation in the car park and in the entrance of the shop.
A 16-year-old boy sustained an injury to his arm, which police have said is not life-threatening or life-changing, but did require stitches.
Two boys, aged 14 and 15, have been arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and remain in custody as enquiries continue.
