Detectives are investigating two linked incidents where teenage girls were violently assaulted as they walked to school in Croydon.


Police were called at 08:23 am this morning to St Paul’s Road where a 15-year-old girl had been approached by a stranger and stabbed in the arm.

This follows an incident at 08:50 am on Wednesday where a 15-year-old girl had, again, been approached by a stranger and stabbed in the leg.

Both girls were taken to hospital where their conditions are not life threatening.

The victims both go to separate schools and at this stage it is not thought they are known to each other.
