Five teenage boys have suffered serious injuries after being stabbed at a Halloween party in Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire. Police said an unknown group entered the property before the incident and are appealing for witnesses and doorbell-camera footage.

Hampshire Police were called to a property in Park Road shortly after 10.30pm on Saturday, 31 October. The five victims, aged 16 or 17, were taken to hospital for treatment.

Officers said the investigation remains at an early stage. Police said cordons remained in place on Park Road and nearby Valley Road on Sunday as detectives continued their enquiries.

Police have asked anyone who attended the party, saw people arriving or leaving, or has relevant phone or doorbell-camera footage to contact them. The force has not announced any arrests in the reports available to The Vector.

The incident took place during Halloween celebrations, when police forces across the UK were also dealing with fireworks-related disorder. That wider context does not establish any connection between the Hampshire incident and other events.

The victims are teenagers and are therefore not named. Police have not publicly identified a suspect or stated a motive. The investigation will need to establish who entered the property, what happened inside and whether those involved knew one another.
