Another man in his late teens was injured in the incident in a playground off Chelwood Drive. He was taken to hospital by ambulance and police have said his injuries are not considered life-threatening.
The suspect, also in his late teens, was arrested from an address in Odd Down earlier today, Friday 6th September, and remains in police custody.
Officers are continuing to appeal for any witnesses who may have seen what happened, or who may have any footage which could help their ongoing investigation.
Detectives are especially keen to hear from anyone who saw a dark-coloured car leave Chelwood Drive at speed in the direction of Bloomfield Road immediately after the attack.
A similar vehicle was later seized by police after being abandoned in Linley Close.
