Hampshire police have arrested a fourth boy on suspicion of attempted murder after five teenagers were stabbed at a supervised Halloween party in Chandler's Ford, the BBC reported1.
Officers were called shortly after 22:30 GMT on Saturday to a home in Park Road after an unknown group entered the event over a garden fence, according to the report1. One 17-year-old remained in hospital in a life-threatening condition; four other boys with serious injuries have been discharged1. All five injured boys had been invited to the party1.
A 16-year-old from Southampton was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder1. Police were given an extra 36 hours to question a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old, also from Southampton, held Monday morning on the same suspicion1. A 16-year-old from Bristol remained in custody after an arrest on Monday night1.
Hampshire police said searches were carried out at three addresses linked to those arrested, two in Southampton and one in Bristol1. The force asked anyone with information to come forward1. The motive for the stabbings was not established in the reporting1.
