In Casula, a suburb 30 kilometres south‑west of Sydney, a 15‑year‑old boy was seriously injured after being stabbed multiple times outside a secondary school on Monday morning, Xinhua reports. The incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. and prompted an emergency call from bystanders who witnessed the assault.
Paramedics arrived promptly, finding the teenager with several stab wounds to his abdomen. Following treatment on the scene, the boy was air‑lifted to a nearby hospital where doctors are keeping him in a serious but stable condition, according to Xinhua.
Local media coverage suggests that the teenager’s injuries were not immediately life‑threatening. However, doctors are monitoring him closely for potential complications, noting that stab wounds to the abdominal area can involve internal organs and blood vessels.
Xinhua’s report indicates that emergency services prioritized swift transportation, contributing to the boy’s current stability. The source did not disclose any details about the weapons used or whether the attacker was apprehended.
Police have established a crime scene at the school’s perimeter and launched an investigation into the assault. Investigators are gathering surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses to identify the suspect.
Law enforcement officials have not yet named a suspect, but they have urged anyone with information to come forward. In a statement, the local police squad said they are working to secure the area and prevent a repeat of the incident.
The secondary school in Casula has temporarily closed the front entrance while police conduct their inquiry. School officials expressed concern over the safety of students and staff, calling the event "unacceptable and frightening.”
Community leaders in the Casula area have called for enhanced security measures. A rally was held near the school to demand better protection, with parents voicing fears for their children's wellbeing in the wake of the attack.
Health officials urge the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity. They also remind residents that rapid response by emergency services can be critical in severe injuries such as stab wounds.
As the investigation continues, Xinhua will provide updates on the suspect’s apprehension and the victim’s medical status. For now, the 15‑year‑old remains hospitalized in a serious but stable condition under close medical observation.
