A 17-year-old was arrested and charged with attempted murder after stabbing another teenager multiple times in a toilet block at Beaman Park, Earlwood.

On September 18, a teenager was repeatedly stabbed in the upper body inside a toilet block at Beaman Park in Earlwood, Sydney, shortly before 5.45 pm. Bleeding heavily, the victim staggered to a nearby residence, where a woman called Julie opened the door and heard him beg for an ambulance. Julie ushered other occupants inside, fetched towels, and dialed triple-zero.

Police investigations led to the arrest of a 17-year-old male at Burwood Police Station, who was charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent to murder. He will face a children’s court on Saturday. The incident highlights concerns about youth violence in the inner-west suburbs.
