The 16-year-old, who cannot be named by the police for legal reasons, was charged with grievous bodily harm after the incident at Southfields Academy in Wandsworth on Tuesday 10th November 2015.

The victim was allegedly stabbed in the leg just after 3pm. The Met Police said of the charged teenager: “He has been remanded in custody to appear at Wandsworth Magistrates' Court on next week” Also, Metropolitan police confirmed that “3 other teenage boys [A - 16yrs, B -15yrs and C -14 yrs] who were arrested on suspicion of GBH have been bailed pending further enquiries to a date in late November.”

He is the 16th teenager to be stabbed in London this year if my statistics is right. It is a different story because he survived according to the statement issued by his school "Our student suffered a stab wound and is currently being treated in hospital. Fortunately, he is expected to make a full recovery and we are supporting him and his family in every way we can."

This is to show how fast this virus called Knife crime is eating deep into the society. when 14, 15, and 16 year olds are resorting to knife crime even attacking other teenager in school. How far can we go? Sensitisation is needed. Mere talking is not enough.

It was a horrific day in  Essex, as the Police confirmed the death of  27 year old man known Ladi Benson.

A short time later, a group of men accompanying the victim flagged down paramedics on Broomfield Road - about two miles away on the other side of the city.

Still in the same Essex, a  second man, aged 22, was stabbed at 11.58pm last night, and was also taken to Broomfield Hospital. According to Mirror UK, in December last year the city of Chelmsford was stunned when 18-year-old Ashley Wooley was stabbed to death by his classmate in Oaklands Park.
