Perth District Police Superintendent Peter Healy said the 17-year-old is believed to have been involved in a disturbance with another group prior to the stabbing.

 “A short time later a 17-year-old boy, who’d been present during this disturbance, was found seriously injured by a person who was at the same disturbance,” he said.

“It’s really important to let the community know that this appears to be an isolated incident and there’s no risk to anyone else in the community at this stage.

“Detectives working around the clock to work out what has happened.”

Detectives from the Homicide Squad on Monday arrested a man from Karrinyup and charged him with grievous bodily harm.

He is set to face the Perth Magistrates Court today.
