“We would like to hear from anyone who attended this event and saw what may have led up to the stabbing.

“We also want to hear from anyone who witnessed the attack or saw anyone running from the scene.

“Anyone with information should not hesitate, pick up the phone and call police, or you can call Crimestoppers where you do not have to give your name.

“A young has been left with life threatening injuries and I am appealing to our community to help police find those who were responsible.”
