Knife Attack Shocks North London School
A 13-year-old boy has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing two pupils at Kingsbury High School in Brent, North West London. The shocking attack happened just after midday in a classroom, leaving the school community reeling.
Horrific Stabbing Caught on Phone
The teenager reportedly sprayed a noxious substance—believed to be insect spray—at another student moments before the stabbing. The brutal assault, captured on the attacker’s phone, saw two boys aged 12 and 13 slashed with what police say looked like a kitchen knife. The attack unfolded at around 12:40pm inside a first-floor classroom.
Victims Serious But Stable After Emergency Surgery
One boy was rushed into surgery with serious wounds to his spine, neck, and hands. The second victim suffered a neck injury. Both are now stable. Fellow pupils acted heroically, banging on windows and shouting desperately to raise the alarm.
Teen Flees After Attack, Later Arrested Near Mosque
After stabbing his victims unprovoked, the attacker fled down the corridor, reportedly targeting another student before escaping the scene. Police tracked him down near a mosque in North West London, despite him having no known links to the location, and took him into custody.
Facing Multiple Charges, Court Remands Teen
The boy appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Youth Court and was remanded in custody. He faces two counts of attempted murder, possession of a bladed article on school grounds, and administering a harmful substance. Kingsbury High School confirmed the situation is “under control” and that authorities are cooperating closely. However, some students remain fearful about returning to class after the terrifying ordeal.
