Seven charged following ‘cowardly’ stabbing at Glenfield train station

Two teenagers were on a train when they were allegedly threatened with a knife by a group of teenagers they did not know, just before Glenfield station at around 9.30pm on Saturday February 25.

The 15 and 18 year olds got off the train at Glenfield, the group would have followed them.

NSW Police said more men and boys had joined the group, making 10 in total.

“The group allegedly assaulted the 15 and 18-year-olds; the 18-year-old was repeatedly stabbed and hit in the head with a bottle, before the group fled,” NSW Police said in a statement.

The teenagers have since been released from the hospital.
