Teen fighting for life after being stabbed outside school in Pinetown

A 15-year-old boy is fighting for his life in hospital after he was stabbed outside his school in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal, on Friday afternoon.

Emer-G-Med Paramedics spokesperson Kyle van Reenen said the teen was stabbed outside a school in Ashley, Pinetown.

Paramedics found the boy in a critical condition with a stab wound in his abdomen.

“Advanced life support intervention was needed to stabilize him before he was placed on a mechanical ventilator to assist him in breathing, and transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital for further care,” said Van Reenen.

The motive for the stabbing is unknown at this stage.

KZN police spokesperson Nqobile Gwala said a case of murder is being investigated by Pinetown SAPS.

“It is alleged that on 4 March 2022 at approximately 14:45, a male aged 16 years old had an altercation with a 15-year-old boy in 5th Avenue, Ashley, Pinetown.

The 16-year-old allegedly stabbed the 15-year-old in the stomach after having a verbal altercation. The 15-year-old then fell to the ground. He was rushed to hospital but unfortunately died,” said Gwala.

The 16-year-old has been arrested and is in police custody. The knife used was seized by police.

He will appear in court next week.
