Two teenagers were rushed to hospital on Saturday afternoon with serious knife injuries after they were attacked for playing with Water Balloons.
The children ages 15 and 14 sustained serious injuries after they were stabbed in a disturbance on Breck Road. The 15-year-old boy has undergone a blood transfusion and a 14-year-old boy has undergone surgery.
Two men aged 24 and 25 were arrested shortly after the incident on suspicion of wounding. They have both been released on police bail.
It is understood that the two boys were playing with water balloons when a passerby attacked them with a shopping basket. The person then came back with another person and they were armed with a knife and pole.
