Police received a call that a youth and a woman were involved in a fight outside a property in Discovery Drive.
Officers attended alongside colleagues from the East Midlands Ambulance Service and on arrival found that the woman –in her 20s – had suffered serious injuries.
She was taken to hospital for treatment and remains in a critical condition.
A 15-year-old boy was subsequently arrested and remains in custody.
Detective Inspector Jim Heggs said: ‘The investigation is very much in its early stages and officers are continuing to speak to residents in the area where the incident occurred.
