Police have arrested and charged two teenage boys with attempted murder after an 18-year-old was stabbed on Wednesday.
The incident sent the nearby Darlinghurst Public School into lockdown after the victim was stabbed on the intersection of Liverpool St and Barcom Ave about 1pm, outside the south-west end of the school’s campus.
Later that day, police arrested a 17-year-old boy in Petersham while a 15-year-old was arrested this morning in Merrylands.
Both have been charged with attempted murder and robbery with wounding.
The 15-year-old is facing further charges relating to two outstanding warrants and the posession of prohibited drugs.
Police will allege the 18-year-old met with the pair on Cow Ln where an argument ensued, leading to him being stabbed and having his bag stolen.
The 17-year-old is due to appear in Children’s Court tomorrow, while the 15-year-old will front court again on October 22 after appearing yesterday.
Both have been refused bail.
Paramedics who treated the teen on the scene reported he was conscious and breathing, noting he had suffered serious injuries when they arrived.
He was placed in St Vincent’s Hospital’s intensive care unit in a stable condition, suffering stab wounds to his back and chest.
