Five teenage boys stabbed at Halloween party in Hampshire

Police are searching for an unknown group that entered a private Halloween party in Chandler’s Ford and stabbed five boys aged 16 and 17.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight police were called to a residential property in Park Road, Chandler’s Ford, just after 10:30 p.m. on Saturday. According to The Guardian, investigators found five teenagers with serious injuries following reports of a stabbing at the event.

Officers established that an unidentified group had gained entry to the party before the attack occurred. All five victims, who are either 16 or 17 years old, were transported to the hospital for treatment. Police have since implemented scene-of-crime restrictions in the areas of Park Road and Valley Road.

DCI Elizabeth Pirie, the senior investigating officer, stated that authorities are working to identify everyone present at the gathering. Police are specifically seeking witnesses who may have filmed the incident or anyone with doorbell camera footage from the surrounding area that could help identify the group involved.

Liz Jarvis, the MP for Eastleigh, expressed her support for the victims and their families while urging the public to avoid sharing unverified information. No arrests have been reported as the investigation into the circumstances of the attack continues.
