Northbridge stabbing: Police lay charges after Perth teen found in carpark with stab wound

Perth’s knife laws have failed to protect a teenager from a violent stabbing in Northbridge. An 18-year-old appeared in court on Sunday after a brutal stabbing in a Northbridge car park on Saturday night left another 18-year-old with serious injuries. St John WA rushed the stab victim from a car park in Roe Street to Royal Perth Hospital under lights and sirens, arriving just after 1am on Sunday morning. The teenager had been stabbed in the chest. It’s understood his lung was punctured and he would have to stay in hospital for several days. Police on Sunday said detectives had charged an 18-year-old over the violent incident. It will be alleged that around 12.45am, police received a report of an 18-year-old male with a stab wound on Roe Street. Jahmarley Winter appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Sunday charged with one count of intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Tensions flared outside court where members of his family threatened camera crews. It comes just one year after tough new knife laws were introduced allowing police to search people for edged weapons at any time. Mr Winter will stay behind bars until his next court appearance in January where he will apply for bail.
