A 17-year-old boy was allegedly stabbed in the leg by a group of youths after a minor altercation in northwest Delhi's Mangolpuri area on Saturday evening, police said.

At around 7 pm Mangolpuri police received information from Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital about the admission of a boy with stab injuries, they said.
The injured youth, a resident of Mangolpuri, was declared fit for a statement by doctors and later informed police that the attack occurred around 5.30 pm while he was returning from Avantika market, they said.

"When the boy reached near L-block park in Mangolpuri, a group of boys approached him. As he tried to flee, one of them stabbed him in the thigh. The group fled the spot upon seeing him bleeding," a senior police officer said.
