A 15‑year‑old boy was hospitalized in a serious but stable condition after being stabbed multiple times outside a secondary school in Casula, a suburb about 30 kilometres southwest of central Sydney, on Monday morning.
Emergency services were called to the scene at approximately 8:30 a.m. The dispatch received reports of an assault occurring outside the school grounds, prompting paramedics to arrive on the scene within minutes. The 15‑year‑old was found with multiple stab wounds to his abdomen, and he was immediately taken for on‑scene treatment by ambulance paramedics.
Paramedics assessed the boy’s condition and administered emergency care before transporting him to a local hospital. According to the health report, the boy’s injuries were not deemed life‑threatening, though the severity of the wounds required immediate medical intervention.

Police officers arrived shortly after the emergency services and secured the area surrounding the school.
