Two teenage boys have been charged after five teenagers were stabbed at a Halloween party in Hampshire.

Police were called shortly after 22:30 GMT on Saturday to a home in Park Road in Chandler's Ford where an "unknown group" had gained entry to the event over a garden fence.

A 16-year-old from Southampton has been charged with attempted murder. A second 16-year-old, also from Southampton, has been charged with wounding with intent.

The pair, who cannot be named due to their ages, have been remanded in custody to appear at Southampton Magistrates' Court on Friday morning.

Four other teenage boys have previously been arrested all on suspicion of attempted murder.

Police said they have all been bailed with conditions, including locations they cannot travel to and people they cannot communicate with.

All five boys who were injured, three aged 16 and two aged 17, had been invited to attend the supervised party.

One of the 17-year-olds remains in hospital in a serious condition and the four others, who were seriously injured, have since been discharged.

Police officers remain in the area carrying out patrols and speaking with residents, young people and local businesses.

Anyone affected is being encouraged to use free support available through the Hampshire Victim Care Hub.
