A third teenage boy has been arrested in connection with a stabbing at a Halloween party in Hampshire.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary confirmed officers arrived shortly after 10:30 PM GMT. A group of males entered the party by climbing over a garden fence before they assaulted the victims.
Eyewitnesses claim a group of youths broke into the party via a garden fence. Five teenagers sustained serious injuries in the attack.
Four other victims, all aged 16 or 17, have since left the hospital. Three teenagers—two 16-year-old boys and one 17-year-old boy—are in custody on suspicion of attempted murder.
The arrested teenagers remain in police custody. The motive for the stabbings remains unclear.
Separately, a man in his 20s was found injured with abdominal wounds on Beckhampton Road, Bestwood, on Monday at about 2:15 PM GMT. His injuries are not life-threatening or life-altering.
