Three teens charged after transgender girl stabbed at roller-skating party
The victim was taken to hospital with stab wounds.
More teenagers have been charged after an 18-year-old transgender girl was stabbed while she was at a birthday party.
Two 17-year-old boys are accused of grievous bodily harm with intent over the stabbing at a roller-skating party in Harrow, north west London, on February 10.
They will appear at the Old Bailey on April 5.
One of the boys also faces charges of disclosing sexual images and threatening the alleged victim with a knife in a private place.
Another 16-year-old girl is accused of the same offence as well as robbery and will appear at the same court tomorrow.
It comes after Summer Betts-Ramsey, 19, appeared at Willesden Magistrates Court where she faced a charge of possession of an offensive weapon in public.
Betts-Ramsey will appear at the Old Bailey alongside the other 16-year-old girl tomorrow.
After the attack, the victim was found with stab wounds at the Masons Avenue address and was taken to hospital but has since been discharged.
Detective Inspector Nicola Hannant said: ‘This was a shocking and violent attack and we continue to support the victim and her family as she recovers from her injuries.
‘Since the incident occurred, we have been working tirelessly to identify those responsible and are making good progress with our investigation.
‘We have increased police patrols in the area and would encourage people to approach these officers with any information or concerns.’
