Police are continuing their investigation into the stabbing incident that affected five teenagers at a Halloween party in Hampshire, resulting in two new arrests. The incident occurred at a residence on Park Road in Chandler’s Ford, where authorities were called shortly after 22:30 GMT on Saturday. It was reported that an unidentified group had gained access to the party by climbing over a garden fence.

Among the victims, a 17-year-old boy remains hospitalized in critical condition. The other four teenagers who suffered injuries in the attack have since been treated and released from medical care. Authorities have been actively pursuing leads to bring those responsible to justice.

Earlier in the week, police apprehended two 16-year-old boys from Southampton on suspicion of attempted murder. Subsequently, two additional boys of the same age and from Southampton were taken into custody on Monday morning and Tuesday afternoon respectively. Both are still being held as the court granted police an extension to continue their questioning.

Meanwhile, two other boys involved in the investigation have been released on bail after being arrested and questioned. Police have not disclosed further details but are expected to provide updates as the inquiry progresses
