A 16-year-old boy is due to appear in court on Saturday charged with wounding another youth who was stabbed in the grounds of a London school, police said.

The victim, also 16, was airlifted to hospital suffering from a number of injuries after being stabbed on the front lawn of Salesian College, Battersea, south London, on Thursday.

His condition is described as stable.

The accused, who has not been named, is charged with Grievous Bodily Harm and violent disorder and is due to appear at South Western Magistrates' Court.

Five other unnamed youths, aged between 14 and 17, from south London, have been charged with violent disorder and will appear at the same court.

They are not connected to the school.

"He was stabbed on a lawn area within the grounds at the front of the college," police said.

Salesian College is a voluntary-aided Roman Catholic school for boys aged 11 to 16.
