A 15-year-old boy from Blacktown has now been charged with a number of charges, including wounding with intent to cause serious bodily harm. He’s been refused bail to appear in a children’s court later on Sydney.

A 20-year-old man has been charged with breaching bail.

Officers from the Quakers Hill Police Area Command roped the entire cul-de-sac off up to the adjoining road at Jocelyn Blvd and canvassed the area with torches to gather evidence.

A crime scene was established and examined by forensic specialists who arrived in two white vans just before 12pm.

Forensic specialists were even seen placing evidence markers beside Empty Passionita and Coca Cola cans — remnants of an underage birthday party gone bad.

A teenage girl who remained outside the crime scene to observe the aftermath said one of the men who had been stabbed was the older brother of the birthday boy hosting the party.

“It was a 16th birthday party and we were invited but by the time we got here we saw all this — we didn’t actually see it happen,” the young woman, who did not wish to be identified, said.

“Two people got stabbed — one of them was the guy’s older brother. We just want to get home but they’re all up there talking to police.”

Police arrested 12 people, including six boys aged between 15 and 17 at the scene and transported to Riverstone Police Station where they are expected to assist with the police investigation.

Inquiries into the incident are continuing and police are urging anyone with information that could assist the investigation to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
