A murder investigation has been launched after a teenage boy was fatally stabbed. The boy, aged 15, was rushed to hospital in a 'critical condition' on Wednesday afternoon (September 21) but died a short while later.
The incident happened close to the gates of North Huddersfield Trust School. Police immediately raced to the scene along with ambulances and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, with roads nearby all blocked off.
The victim initially received treatment at the scene and was taken to Leeds General Infirmary for emergency surgery but was pronounced dead later on Wednesday. Detectives from West Yorkshire Police Homicide and Major Enquiry Team are now leading the investigation into the boy’s murder.
