A TEENAGE boy was stabbed at a train station in broad daylight, leading to the arrest of four other boys by the police.

A 13-year-old was attacked at Piccadilly railway station yesterday at approximately 12:10 PM.

He was taken to the hospital, but his injuries are not considered life-threatening or life-altering.

He has since been discharged from the hospital following the “shocking” incident.

One boy, aged 13, was later arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm (wounding with intent).

Three additional boys – one aged 13 and two aged 12 – were arrested on suspicion of affray.

All four have been released on bail.

The police are asking for more witnesses and information.

Detective Inspector Stephen Kite stated: “This was a shocking incident that occurred in broad daylight in front of several horrified onlookers.

“We have interviewed numerous witnesses and are conducting various other inquiries, but we believe there may be others who witnessed the event and have yet to come forward.

“We also suspect that there were individuals who passed by and may have captured crucial dash cam footage of the incident.

“I encourage those individuals to reach out to us as soon as possible. We will not tolerate violence on the railway network and will do everything in our power to bring those responsible to justice.”
