British Transport Police officers are appealing for witnesses after a teenage boy was stabbed at Weston-Super-Mare station.
On Saturday 8 April, at around 6.45pm, a fight broke out at the front of the station on Neva Road, between two groups of young people, involving about 10 to 12 people. As a result, a teenage boy suffered a stab wound in the back, which left a deep wound needing hospital attention.
The youths involved were all boys in their mid to late teens it is believed.
At the time of the incident, the station was busy with lots of people and a number of them can be seen actively running away from the area where the fight took place.
