Two teenage boys from Southampton have been charged following a stabbing incident that left five teenagers injured at a Halloween gathering in Hampshire. According to BBC News, police responded to the scene on Park Road in Chandler's Ford shortly after 22:30 GMT on Saturday after an uninvited group forced their way into the property through a garden fence.
A 16-year-old has been charged with attempted murder, while a second 16-year-old faces a charge of wounding with intent. Both teenagers remain in custody ahead of their appearance at Southampton Magistrates' Court on Friday morning.
The incident represents an escalation in the investigation into the attack. A third teenage boy was arrested on 2 November 2026, as authorities worked to establish the full circumstances of the violence. Among the five victims, two remained hospitalised with serious injuries, with one reported to be in life-threatening condition at the time of the earlier arrest.
The five injured teenagers, aged 16 and 17, were attacked by members of the unknown group that breached the party's security. The nature of the gathering and any potential motive for the assault remain under investigation by Hampshire Police.
What happens next?
The two charged teenagers are scheduled to appear before magistrates on Friday morning. The investigation continues as police work to establish the full circumstances of the attack and determine the roles of all those involved in the incident.
