A teenage boy has been arrested and another rushed to hospital after an alleged stabbing outside a south-west Sydney high school as children arrived for the day.
The 15-year-old was allegedly stabbed multiple times in the abdomen outside Casula High School on Monday morning.
Emergency services were called about 8.30am to Myall Road, Casula in Sydney’s south-west following reports of an assault.
The teenager was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Liverpool Hospital in a serious but stable condition. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
A 16-year-old boy has been arrested. Police found a knife near the scene but have not yet established it was used in the alleged attack.
“This is a shocking incident to occur outside a high school, and it’s very sad that we’ve had to respond to an incident like this,” NSW Police Superintendent Robert Toynton said.
Toynton said the boy’s alleged attacker ran off after passing tradies and teachers intervened.
A Department of Education spokesperson said support is being provided to those impacted.
“Our thoughts are with the young person who was injured today,” they said.
