“The group were dispersed by officers after fighting broke out in the crowd, following this we made nine arrests.
“A 17-year-old boy was taken to hospital after he was found suffering with stab wounds.
“His injuries were assessed as neither life-changing nor life-threatening. All of those arrested remain in police custody.
“We urge anyone who was at the event or who has any information to come forward to police by calling 101 and quoting CAD8948/22May.
