A 16-year-old boy who handed himself into police after a teenager was stabbed appeared in court on Saturday.
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with GBH last night over a knife attack in West Hampstead, north west London, on Tuesday.
Police said the victim, 17, remains in hospital in a critical condition.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “The 16-year-old male was arrested after handing himself in at a police station.
“He will appear in custody at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on the morning of Saturday, 10 November.”

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
