Police are calling for public help to identify three males following an alleged armed robbery and stabbing in Ashburton.

Transit Crime Investigation Unit detectives have released CCTV footage and images of the young men they believe can help them with their investigation into the April 1 incident.

It is alleged a group of eleven males approached a 16-year-old boy outside a train station on Welfare Parade, before he was stabbed with an edged weapon about 6.20pm.

The Surrey Hills boy was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Two other 16-year-old boys allegedly had their shoes stolen before the group of males ran away towards High Street.

Investigators have charged seven teens in relation to the incident;

* A 15-year-old boy has been charged with armed robbery, affray, intent to cause injury and recklessly cause injury.

* Three 15-year-old boys have been charged with robbery and affray.

* Two 14-year-old boys have been charged with robbery and affray.

* A 16-year-old boy has been charged with robbery and affray.

They were bailed to appear at a children’s court at a later date.

A 14-year-old Kew boy handed himself into police and has been released pending summons.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident or anyone with CCTV/dashcam footage or information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
