Sydney teen’s hand almost amputated in alleged knife attack
A 15-year-old boy allegedly out on bail at the time has been charged over the attack near Redfern Oval.
A 17-year-old teenager suffered a severely injured hand after being partially severed during an alleged assault in Sydney on Wednesday night. NSW police responded to the incident in Redfern around 6pm, finding the 17-year-old with a hand that was only partially attached. Police claim the attack occurred in a car park on Morehead Road and was committed by a 15-year-old boy using a knife.
Emergency services arrived at the scene and transported the injured teenager to the hospital, where his condition was assessed. It remains uncertain if the hand will be successfully reattached. Later that night, police conducted an investigation and stopped a car on Redfern Street. They subsequently arrested and charged the 15-year-old with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm to another person and for breaching bail. The arrested individual was denied bail and will appear in a children's court on Thursday.
