TWO teenage brothers from New Addington have been charged over the double stabbing in the Whitgift Centre last week.
The brothers, aged 14 and 15, have both been charged with two counts of grievous bodily harm and are set to appear at Croydon Magistrates Court today.
They were arrested on Thursday by police investigating the incident.
Police were called shortly after 6pm last Tuesday (January 14) to reports of a group of youths fighting in the shopping centre.
They arrived to find two boys, aged 16 and 17, suffering from stab wounds.
The 16-year-old was stabbed in the upper arm and slashed across the face. He has since been released from hospital.
The 17-year-old suffered a stab wound to the lower back which punctured his kidney but has also since been released from hospital.
