Police are continuing inquiries after five teenage boys were stabbed at a Halloween party in Chandler's Ford, Hampshire. Officers were called to Park Road shortly after 22:30 GMT on Saturday after an "unknown group" reportedly entered the event.
Three boys aged 16 and two aged 17 were taken to hospital with serious injuries. Witnesses told the BBC that a fight began after a group came over a garden fence, though the motive for the stabbings is unclear.
Barton Peveril Sixth Form College in Eastleigh confirmed that two of the attacked teenagers are current students, while Thornden Secondary School in Chandler's Ford stated that some of its former students were injured. Both schools are offering support to those affected.
Eastleigh MP Liz Jarvis and a Home Office spokesperson have expressed their thoughts for the victims and their families. Hampshire Police have cordoned off parts of Park Road and the adjoining Valley Road as part of their investigation.
