Boy, 15, accused of stabbing at Enfield youth centre

A 15-year-old boy has been charged over a stabbing at a youth center in Enfield.

Police were called to reports of a stabbing at 2.38pm on Thursday at a youth center on South Street, near Ponders End station.

Together with the paramedics, they found a 16-year-old boy with a sharp wound to the neck. He was rushed to hospital and his condition was assessed as “not life-threatening or life-changing”.

On Friday, a 15-year-old boy was charged with two counts of actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

He will appear in custody at Thames Magistrates’ Youth Court on Saturday.

Because of his age, he cannot be named.
