Six teenage males have been charged in connection with the stabbing of a Battersea college student.

A 14-year-old, two 15-year-olds, a 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds from south London are all due before South Western Magistrates today charged with violent disorder. The 16-year-old youth has also been charged with GBH with intent.

Police were called to reports of a 16-year-old stabbed at Salesian College in Surrey Lane about 3.20pm on Thursday.

The student was taken to hospital by air ambulance where he remains in a stable condition.

A school spokesman said: "We are obviously very shocked and distressed that this incident has occurred and we hope that our pupil makes a full recovery.
