He and another teenager were walking along the Dublin Road in south Belfast at 1800 GMT on Saturday when they were attacked by a gang of up to five men.

He was stabbed in the face and is in a stable condition in hospital. The second youth was punched in the head and face.

Police have appealed to witnesses to come forward.
