Two local teens charged after stabbing
A teen has been left without a spleen and in a coma after being stabbed in Kelmscott on Friday afternoon.
A fight allegedly broke out around 2.15pm between a group of six youths behind Kelmscott High School between Ravenscroft Way and Regina Road.
During the brawl, a 16-year-old boy was stabbed in the gut.
He was taken to Royal Perth Hospital where he was placed in an induced coma. His spleen has been removed and he will require further surgery.
He remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital.
It is being alleged by police that a 15-year-old and a 13-year-old boy fled the area on foot and were last caught on CCTV running towards Westfield Road, both armed with knives.
Armadale Detectives appealed for the public’s assistance in the immediate aftermath of the assault.
The 15-year-old from Kelmscott and the 13-year-old from Camillo have now been charged with one count of ‘Aggravated Grievous Bodily Harm’ each.
Both are next due to appear in the Perth Children’s Court on 4 September 2024.
