A teenager boy has been stabbed while walking with his mother in Hackney.
The 16-year-old victim was surrounded by a group of youths following a verbal "altercation", after another male in the group threw a glass bottle in the victim's direction, which missed him and smashed nearby.
A fourth male rode up behind him on a Barclays hire bike in Murray Grove and stabbed him in the back.
