Authorities have apprehended a 15-year-old suspect following an alleged assault in an inner Sydney park that resulted in another teenager sustaining a severed hand. The incident occurred at Redfern Oval.
Police were alerted to the scene around 6 p.m. on Wednesday. Upon arrival, officers discovered a 17-year-old boy with a severed hand. Paramedics provided initial treatment at the location before transporting the injured teen to a hospital. He was reported to be in stable condition.
Early Thursday morning, around 12:15 a.m., law enforcement officers stopped a vehicle on Redfern Street. A 15-year-old boy was taken into custody shortly thereafter in the vicinity.
The arrested teenager has been charged with wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and with breaching bail conditions. He was denied bail and is scheduled to appear before a children's court on Thursday.
