Delhi: A 17-year-old boy was allegedly stabbed in the leg by a group of youths following a minor altercation in northwest Delhi’s Mangolpuri area on Saturday evening, police said.
According to officials, the Mangolpuri police received information from Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital around 7 pm regarding the admission of a boy with stab injuries.
The injured teenager, a resident of Mangolpuri, was declared fit for a statement by doctors. He later told police that the incident occurred around 5.30 pm while he was returning from Avantika market.
“When the boy reached near L-block park in Mangolpuri, a group of boys approached him. As he tried to flee, one of them stabbed him in the thigh. The group fled the spot upon seeing him bleeding,” a senior police officer said.
A local resident rushed the injured boy to the hospital. Doctors confirmed that the wounds were consistent with a physical assault involving multiple injuries. However, they clarified that the injuries were restricted to the leg and that the victim is in stable condition and undergoing treatment.
