WALTHAMSTOW: Teen stabbed near fun fair
4:44pm Tuesday 6th May 2008 in
A TEENAGER was stabbed and others injured after a gang fight broke out near a Walthamstow fun fair.
Neighbours were "shocked" to see as many as 40 youths, some carrying weapons, running down Clacton Road away from the St James's Park fun fair at about 6pm yesterday.
Police and ambulance crews attended and found a teenager, about 18-years-old, with head injuries and a stab wound to his back.
He was taken by air ambulance to hospital for treatment to his injuries, which were deemed not life-threatening.
A 14-year-old male was arrested at the scene for possession of an offensive weapon and assault and remains in police custody.
Police enquiries are continuing.
