Boy dead after stabbing outside school
One teenage boy is dead and another is in a serious condition after they were stabbed near Doonside Technology High School in Sydney’s west.
Emergency services were called to an incident near the school on Power St in Doonside about 3.30pm on Friday.
Officers from the Blacktown Police Area Command were on their way to the scene when two teenage boys showed up at Blacktown Police Station with stab wounds.
The two boys were driven to the police station from the school 15 minutes away, 9News reported.
Police sources said the boys were dropped off bleeding with serious injuries at the station by one of their mothers asking for help.
Four to six boys are reportedly on the run.
One of the boys died at the police station and another teenage boy was taken to hospital in a serious condition.
Bystanders who were in the area said on social media children were on the way home from school waiting for their bus when the incident happened.
Police told The Daily Telegraph officers were investigating whether the fatal stabbing was linked to “postcode wars” but it was too early to comment further.
Witnesses told them “they saw teenagers fighting on a bus before the stabbing, with police now investigating the claims”.
A resident who lives in the area said: “They saw a youth jumping her fence and several others running through neighbouring back yards.”
Police have arrested one person nearby and established crime scenes in both locations.
Sydney buses operating in the area have been diverted while police examine the crime scene.
Route 753 and 756 buses have been diverted away from a section of Power St and are using Crawford Rd, Coveny St and Hill End Rd instead.
Four stops still be missed while the buses are being diverted.
The incident happened not long after classes ended for the April school holidays.
Police have arrested one person nearby and established crime scenes in both locations.
Inquiries are ongoing.
