A teenager has been arrested after a boy was stabbed on a Tube station platform.

Police were called to Mile End Underground station at around 5.30pm on February 24.

A young male was stabbed during a fight after getting off a District line train, reports London Now.

The victim left the scene but later called an ambulance and was taken to hospital.

His injuries are not critical.

The suspect fled on a train but officers have since arrested a 15-year-old boy on suspicion of wounding with intent and possession of an offensive weapon. 

He was later released on bail.

Officers believe a number of people saw what happened and have yet to speak to police.

Any witnesses or those with information that could help police should text BTP on 61016, or call 0800 40 50 40, using the reference 532 of 24 February.
