A 13 year old boy was taken to hospital after being stabbed in the middle of the day outside Piccadilly station
The incident happened at short stay car park adjacent to Fairfield Street yesterday lunchtime say British Transport Police
Officers responded with paramedics and treated a 13-year-old boy for injuries consistent with a stabbing. He was taken to hospital, with injuries which are not being treated as life-threatening or life-changing. He has since been discharged from hospital.
One boy, aged 13, was later arrested on suspicion of GBH (wounding with intent). Another three boys – one aged 13 and two aged 12 – were arrested on suspicion of affray. They have all been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Detective Inspector Stephen Kite said: “This was a shocking incident that took place in broad daylight in front of a number of horrified onlookers.
“We have spoken to a number of witnesses alongside many other enquiries we’re working on, but we believe there may be other people who saw what happened and have yet to come forward. We also believe there were people who had been driving past who may have captured important dash cam footage showing what happened.
“I urge those people to make contact with us as quickly as possible. We will not tolerate violence on the railway network and will do everything we can to bring to justice those responsible.”
