A mother has told of a horror knife attack on her daughter which saw her allegedly stabbed in the back, neck and arm five times.
The 14-year-old was attacked in a park in Whittington, near Worcester on Sunday night and is said to now be recovering at home after receiving treatment for her injuries at hospital.
The ‘resilient’ teenager is said to be ‘sore’ after the stabbing incident which saw police rush to the scene at around 7.40pm following reports of ‘screaming’ from neighbours.
Three teenage girls were arrested after the attack. They have been released on bail while a police probe continues, Worcester News reports.
The victim’s mother said: ‘My daughter is back home now and resting, she’s doing okay, just very sore.
‘She is the strongest and most resilient girl I know. She was stabbed five times in her back, back of her neck and arm.’
A section of the park at The Tara and Clews Close was cordoned off by police following the attack, as officers and forensic teams collected evidence.
Nigel Huddleston, MP for Droitwich and Evesham, said: ‘I was deeply concerned to learn of the stabbing in Whittington on Sunday night.

‘I understand that the victim, a 14-year-old girl, is in hospital and in a stable condition.
‘My thoughts are with her and her family at this deeply distressing time, and I hope she makes a full speedy recovery.
‘Local residents are understandably shocked and concerned that such a serious incident could take place in their local community, as of course am I.
‘It is therefore vital that we now allow the police the time and space to proceed with their investigations, so that we can understand exactly what happened.’
