Two Boys, Aged 12 And 13, Stabbed In Classroom Horror At London School

In some terrible happenings on Tuesday, 10 February 2026, a stabbing took place inside a classroom at Kingsbury High School in Brent, northwest London, leaving two boys aged 12 and 13 injured and hospitalised. The incident occurred in the afternoon during the lunch period when a teenage boy, also aged 13, entered the school and launched the attack.

Emergency services were summoned immediately, and the two young victims were taken by ambulance to the hospital with serious injuries. Police also detained a suspect later that afternoon after a regular search. While initial descriptions suggested life-threatening wounds, authorities later confirmed that the victims were in stable condition. The shocking tragedy has caused uproar about school safety, supervision, and knife crime among young people in the UK.

How the Brutal Attack Unfolded

Now, according to police and reports, the suspect was a former pupil of Kingsbury High School. He reportedly entered the school grounds around midday and made his way into a first-floor classroom. Once inside, he allegedly used a noxious substance on a third child before producing a kitchen knife and stabbing two students. One victim, the 13-year-old, sustained multiple stab wounds and required surgery for injuries, including a spinal fracture, while the 12-year-old suffered a neck wound. Both remain in hospital in a stable but serious condition.

Officers were first called to the scene at around 12.40 pm on Tuesday. Metropolitan Police, including specialist units, responded swiftly. The suspect was later arrested in the local area at about 4.15 pm and taken into custody. Reports say no other suspects are being sought. While the incident was treated with urgency and investigated by Counter Terrorism Policing London, officers have stated publicly that they have not classified it as an act of terrorism at this stage, and are keeping an open mind about the motive.

Families of the victims have been supported by specialist liaison officers as the investigation continues. Some unconfirmed reports also say that the accused shouted 'Allahu Akbar' before the stabbing, but a Muslim religious angle has not yet been established. The school went into immediate lockdown following the attack, and pupils were held safely on site while parents were contacted. In a letter to families, the head teacher described the episode as 'deeply traumatic.'

What Happens to the Suspect

In the days following the attack, police charged the 13-year-old suspect with two counts of attempted murder, as well as offences relating to possession of a knife on school premises and administering a noxious substance to another pupil. He appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court wearing a grey tracksuit and was remanded to a youth detention facility ahead of a further hearing at the Old Bailey later in February. Due to his age, his identity has not been published.

Authorities have warned against speculation or sharing details online that might prejudice the ongoing legal process. The Crown Prosecution Service reiterated that criminal proceedings are active and must be allowed to run their course fairly. The stabbing is one of a series of high-profile knife attacks involving young people in the past few years that have riled up public debate about safety, youth violence, and mental health support in the UK.
