A 16-year-old boy has been charged over the stabbing of a teenager.

The 15-year-old victim was slashed repeatedly in his upper body during the attack in Woodman Path, Hainault, just before 7pm on Monday.

Following the attack three boys, two aged 16 and one aged 14, were arrested but two have now been bailed  until July.

The remaining 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named because of his age, has now been charged with grievous bodily harm.

The victim suffered "serious" injuries but his condition is not thought to be life-threatening, a Met spokesman said.
