Second teenager charged with attempted murder after stabbing of 14-year-old boy in Sheffield
A second teenager is due in court today over the stabbing of a 14-year-old boy in Sheffield.
On the evening of Wednesday, March 18, emergency services rushed to the aid of a 14-year-old boy who suffered what were thought to be life-threatening injuries initially after a stabbing in Market Square.
He has since stabilised and is said to be recovering well.
In the aftermath of the incident, police arrested two 17-year-old boys - who cannot legally been named - in connection with the knife attack.
The first was charged with attempted murder on Monday (March 23), while the second - who was only arrested yesterday - has also been charged with the same offence.
He is set to appear at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court today (March 27).
A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Another 17-year-old boy who has also been charged with attempted murder in connection with the stabbing made his first appearance before magistrates on 24 March.
“He was granted conditional bail ahead of his next appearance at Sheffield Crown Court in April.”
