Boy, 14, stabbed at skills fair
A 14-year-old boy has been stabbed at the ExCeL centre in east London as government minister Tony McNulty opened a skills and careers fair for young people at the venue.
The teenager was involved in a fight with at least two other youths near the entrance to the centre in Docklands.
He was taken by ambulance to an east London hospital where his condition was described as stable. Another 14-year-old was held at the scene.
The attack took place just after midday when Mr McNulty was speaking at the fair. Mayor Boris Johnson was due at the event — set to attract 50,000 young people — this afternoon.
