Terrifying Attack in Primrose Hill
The teenager was found bleeding on Primrose Hill Road, close to the entrance of Regent’s Park. Emergency services raced to the scene and airlifted him to a central London hospital, where he remains in serious condition and faces surgery.
Police say the boy was with four female friends when they were set upon by four white male attackers. Detective Sergeant Steve Masterson condemned the “motiveless and cowardly” assault and urged witnesses to come forward.
“The victim sustained a significant injury that requires surgery,” said DS Masterson. “It’s vital we find those responsible. Any tiny detail could help us catch these suspects.”

“Students in his year group held an emergency assembly today and support is available for anyone affected. Our thoughts are with him, and we wish a speedy recovery.”
