Geelong Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged a boy following a stabbing in Geelong’s Little Malop Street on Thursday.
The 16-year-old has been charged with two counts of intentionally causing injury and one count each of affray, assault with a weapon and committing an offence while on bail.
The charges follow an incident at a shopping centre on Little Malop Street where it is alleged a boy was stabbed just after 3.30pm on 19 February.
The 17-year-old victim was taken to hospital with critical injuries.
The teenager, from the Geelong area, was arrested on Friday and interviewed by detectives.
He was bailed by a bail justice to appear before a children’s court on Monday.
It is believed the boys involved are known to each other.
