A 12-year-old boy has been charged with stabbing a 20-year-old man in East London.

The assault has been deemed “non-fatal” by the Metropolitan Police.

Police were called to Marlands Road, Ilford, just before 4pm on Friday.

The 12-year-old boy was arrested at the scene and charged with robbery and possession of a bladed article.

An ambulance attended the scene and brought the 20-year-old victim to an East London hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

The minor will appear at Barkingside Youth Court on Saturday.
