Police are keeping an ‘open mind’ over the motive of a city attack which has left three people dead - but at this time believe there is no one else outstanding in connection with the incidents.
One man is in hospital in a critical condition while two others are believed to have suffered minor injuries.
A number of major roads in the city centre will remain closed as a thorough police investigation is underway.
Currently, police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the attacks.
Chief Constable Kate Meynell said: “This is a tragic series of events which has led to the lives of three innocent people being taken and left another member of the public in a critical condition in hospital.
“My thoughts are with all the families affected by this shocking incident, and we will be working extremely hard to understand exactly what has happened.
“We are at the early stages of the investigation and need to determine the motives behind these attacks and will keep the public updated as soon as we are able to say more.
“We are keeping an open mind as we investigate the circumstances surrounding these incidents and are working alongside Counter Terrorism Policing to establish the facts – as we would normally do in these types of circumstances.
“We do have a man in custody who has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Currently, we do not believe there is anyone else involved in this incident.
“It is safe to go into the city centre but there are a number of streets that will remain closed including Ilkeston Road, Magdala Street, Milton Street and Maple Street. This is so officers can gather evidence in order to understand what has happened.”

“My phone began going mad though this morning, everyone I know asking me if I’m okay.
“It’s terrifying, it’s completely spooked me and my friends out. We use that takeaway all the time and I’m always out wandering back from nights out at that time.
“Monday nights are the big student night for Nottingham so the streets are usually busy.”

Student woke up to shouting and ‘gunshot’
14:42 , Maryam Zakir-Hussain
Student Josh Fenner, 20, said he believes he heard a shot as the officers were dealing with the van in Bentinck Road.
He said he first saw a police van moving slowly up the street with an officer running alongside it.
Mr Fenner said: “I woke up at 5.30am this morning - just some sounds going on, some shouting.
“I thought I’d just check it out and I see a policeman running up side-by-side to his van, and then there’s this white van just at the end of the road.
“I heard the policeman shout ‘get out the car’ and then what I thought I heard was a gunshot.
“Obviously, I was half asleep at the time, it was quite early.”
He said others in the street also told him they had heard what they thought was a shot.
Asked how many shots he heard, Mr Fenner said: “I heard just one.”
He said: “Living on this road, it’s shocking. We get stuff like this happening quite a lot, but not of this kind of magnitude.”
Asked about the wider incident, he said: “It’s a horrible thing. No-one deserves that to have that happen to them.
“We’re just trying to understand what happened. It’s a bit confusing for everyone.”
Student says he saw police putting man out of van
14:29 , Tara Cobham
Another Bentinck Road resident, Dimitrious Lawani, said he arrived at the scene just as the man was being pulled out of the van.
The student said: “There’s two of them pulling him and two behind pointing at him – I think those were Tasers.”
He said they shouted: “Get down, get out, stop fighting.”
Mr Lawani said: “He was being quite resistive – very resistive from what I could tell – and he was also making a lot of noise but I couldn’t really distinguish what he was saying.”
He said: “Once he was on the floor and the shouting calmed down, I went back to sleep.”
His friend Grace Mambi: “It was the police shouting ‘get down’, screaming ‘get down’.
“That’s the loudest I’ve heard police in my life.”

“I turned around and then saw the two people on the floor, on the road.
“Someone was screaming, I think a gentleman ran over to help as well.”
She said the woman “was in pain from the impact from hitting the ground. She had hit her head but was still able to speak.
“Then the gentleman as well took the full brunt of the van and he had head injuries but was still awake.
“He didn’t lose consciousness, he was still awake at that stage.”
Frances added: “Then it just went from there, the police were there straight away, then the ambulance arrived and they got the two people in the ambulance and got them sent off to whichever hospital.”

“He (the van driver) backed up after he hit… and drove up Parliament Street.
“The woman was sitting up on the kerb, she looked OK. The man was laying down, but then he got up, sat on the side waiting for an ambulance,” Ms Haggitt said, adding “I can’t believe he was able to get up after the head wound”.

Mr Brady said: “We woke up to shouts of ‘armed police’ and what… sounded like some very loud noises, what sounded like gunshots – it was that loud.
“I looked out the bedroom window and saw Tasers. I saw a man being dragged out (of the van) and pinned to the floor.
“I saw him getting arrested, him trying to resist.
“I then later saw when they opened the van, I saw a large knife being pulled out and then straight away that’s when police closed off both roads, both Maples Street and Bentinck Road.”
Witness claims he heard ‘awful, blood-curdling screams’
12:02 , Tara Cobham
A witness told the BBC he saw a young man and young woman being stabbed on Ilkeston Road, close to the junction with Bright Street in Nottingham, at around 4am.
The man, who did not give his name, said he heard “awful, blood-curdling screams” and looked out his window to see a “black guy dressed all in black with a hood and rucksack grappling with some people”.
He told the broadcaster: “She was screaming ‘Help!’ I just wish I’d shouted something out of the window to unnerve the assailant.
“I saw him stab the lad first and then the woman. It was repeated stabbing – four or five times. The lad collapsed in the middle of the road.
“The girl stumbled towards a house and didn’t move. The next minute she had disappeared down the side of a house, and that’s where they found her.
“I’d say it all happened within five or six minutes. The attacker then just walked off up Ilkeston Road towards town, as calm as anything.”
The man said he called the police who arrived within five minutes, before paramedics tried to revive the pair for 40 minutes.
