A teenager has been charged with two counts of attempted murder after a stabbing in a north London school.
The 13-year-old boy has been charged after the incident at Kingsbury High School in Brent, north-west London.
The boy is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Youth Court later this morning.
He is accused of the attempted murder of two boys aged 12 and 13, and unlawfully and maliciously administering a noxious thing to a third child for allegedly spraying them with an unnamed substance.
The boy has also been charged with possession of a knife on school premises without good reason or lawful authority.
Detective Chief Superintendent Helen Flanagan, from Counter Terrorism Policing London, said: “These are extremely serious charges against a young boy, and we continue to support the victims and their families, as well as the wider school community following this shocking incident.
“While we have now charged the boy with these offences, our investigation is ongoing and detectives will continue to carry out enquiries in the local area.
“We are working closely with local policing colleagues in the Brent area and I would also like to thank the school and the wider local community for their support in recent days.”
