Yesterday (21 March) the boy was charged with attempted murder and remanded into police custody.
He appeared at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court this morning (22 March) where he was further remanded.
DI Darren Rumbelow said: “Since the incident local officers have been conducting patrols in the area, however, there is no identified on going risk to the public.
“The teenager arrested cannot be named due to legal restrictions which do not allow for anyone charged with an offence under the age of 18 to be identified.
“We would urge everyone to abide by that law to ensure that no issues are caused to the legal process and further updates will be given as and when they are available.
“If you are concerned about the incident, or any other matters in the area, then you can contact the force, and this will form part of the patrol plan for the local policing team.”
