Teenager stabbed in same spot as conker-death student

Fifteen-year-old in critical condition after being attacked in road where Steven Grisales was killed after a row with youths A 15-year-old boy is in hospital in a serious condition after being stabbed in the same spot where Steven Grisales was killed after remonstrating with conker-throwing youths, Scotland Yard said. The boy, who has not been named, is not thought to be in a critical condition, after suffering stab wounds on Wednesday evening. Police were called to College Close in Edmonton, north London at 6.50pm – almost exactly the same time that 21-year-old Steven Grisales was stabbed last Thursday . The boy was taken to hospital in an air ambulance. Two males have been arrested in connection with the stabbing. A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: “At the moment we are not aware of any links between the stabbing of Steven Grisales and this incident, apart from the geographical location.” He said police would be investigating possible connections between the two attacks. Steven Grisales was allegedly stabbed to death on 1 September as he made his way to Silver Street railway station in Edmonton after running a shopping errand for his grandmother. A 15-year-old boy appeared before Enfield magistrates on Wednesday, charged with his murder. Mr Grisales, who aspired to become an architect, died after receiving a single stab wound to the heart. The student, who was born in the UK to Colombian parents, had been studying in Argentina but arrived home on 5 August to take up a scholarship at Westminster College, which was due to begin on the day he died. Gun and knife crime in the area, parts of which erupted into violence during the London riots, was among the most serious in the capital, said campaigners. Witnesses to the Grisales stabbing are asked to call the incident room on 0208 721 4961 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crime Knife crime Alexandra Topping guardian.co.uk
