Seven teenage males have been charged over a stabbing at Glenfield railway station late last month.
Police say that two teenage males aged 15 and 18 were travelling on a train around 9.30pm on February 25 when they were allegedly threatened with a knife by a group of males.
After getting off the train at Glenfield Railway Station, the group of teenage males were joined by more males – police say there were about 10 of them in total. The youngest was aged 12, and the oldest 19.
It is alleged they attacked the two teenage males, stabbing the 18 year old multiple times and hitting him on the head with bottle.
While the group fled the scene following the alleged assault, the two victims were treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics. They were taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition and were subsequently released.
Following a search of the area, officers attached to Police Transport Command arrested two boys – aged 12 and 13 – a short distance away.
