A teenager has been charged with attempted murder of 16-year-old boy, stabbed on Victoria Line train packed with commuters

Terrified tube commuters watched as a teenage boy was brutally stabbed on a busy Victoria Line train in South London, the latest knife attack in the capital after a string of stabbings in recent months.

Police arrived to Stockwell station on the Victoria Line train in Lambeth at around 3pm on Wednesday after reports of a stabbing, finding the 16-year-old with two puncture wounds.

Emergency services took the teen to hospital after treating him for potentially life-threatening injuries.

Police on Friday charged Amarjay Camron Nkemayang, 18, with attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

The suspect, who is from Stockwell in south London, was treated for minor injuries after the stabbing and is due to appear at Westminster magistrates court today.

‘This was a particularly violent incident on a busy Tube service that has resulted in a man sustaining serious injuries,’ said Detective inspector Paul Attwell, according to The Evening Standard.

‘We are keen to speak to anyone who was on-board the Tube at the time or at Stockwell Underground station as they may have information that could greatly assist our investigation.’

Police are looking to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the ‘particularly violent’ incident.

It is the latest in a wave of vicious attacks to have erupted on the streets of the capital, after three people were stabbed on November 4 in Colindale, North London.

The trio, two in their 20s and one in his 30s, were taken to hospital for treatment to stab injuries. Their condition has been assessed as non life-threatening.

The news also comes after a 32-year-old man was stabbed to death near Waterloo Station in late October.

Two Metropolitan Police officers were stabbed by a knifeman in the West End ithe month before.

The young female police officer suffered a serious stab wound through a vein in her arm, leading to ‘massive blood loss’ which may be life-changing, while the other officer was stabbed three times in the neck and once in the chest.

In August, a father-to-be drill rapper was stabbed at Notting Hill Carnival.

Police have made four arrests in connection with his death, but are now appealing to the public for help tracing a person seen on CCTV they ‘urgently need to speak to’ in connection with the investigation.

Approximately 10,366 knife crime offenses have been recorded this year starting in January 2022, according to police statistics, compared with 9,050 over the same period in 2021.
