Two teenage boys have been arrested after the suspected stabbing of a 12-year-old girl.
South Wales Police were called to Barry Island in the Vale of Glamorgan at around 5pm on Sunday to a report of an assault near the Harbour Road car park in the seaside resort.
The girl, whose condition is described as not life-threatening, was taken to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff with serious injuries.
Police say they have arrested two local boys, aged 13 and 15, on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and they both remain in custody.
The younger of the two has also been arrested on suspicion of possession of a bladed article.
Detective Inspector Phil Marchant from South Wales Police said the incident and “the ages of those involved” would “cause worry within the community”.
He said the two suspects are “known to the victim” and were arrested within an hour.
“At this stage we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the assault,” he added.
