A teenager has been charged with attempted murder after a 13-year-old girl was found with stab wounds.

The girl was found with life-threatening injuries on the side of the A63 in Hessle, near Hull, East Yorkshire, at around 6.50am on Friday, Humberside Police said.

She remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital after suffering stab wounds and injuries to her neck, abdomen, chest and back.

A 14-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with attempted murder and possession of a bladed article, the force said.

He was remanded in custody and will appear at Hull Crown Court on Monday.

Six teenagers were initially arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after they were found in a wooded area near the site on Friday.

Police said three teenage boys, aged 15, 16 and 17, and two girls, aged 14 and 15, have been released on bail.

Detective Superintendent Simon Vickers said on Saturday that those arrested knew the victim.
