Archway stabbing: Boy, 14, charged with attempted murder after teen knifed 'repeatedly'

A teenager has been charged with attempted murder following the stabbing of a 14-year-old boy on a busy north London street.

The boy, 14, is from Islington but cannot be named due to his age.

He will appear in court on Tuesday morning.

A 15-year-old boy who was also arrested in connection with the attempted killing has been bailed pending further inquiries, Scotland Yard said.

The alleged victim was left in a serious but stable condition after suffering a number of stab wounds during an incident on Fairbridge Road, near Archway on Sunday.

An 11-year-old boy who was initially arrested on suspicion of attempted murder was later de-arrested, released from custody and faces no further action.

Emergency services scrambled to the scene shortly before 7pm on Sunday.

The stabbed boy was taken by Air Ambulance to an east London hospital.
