Police were called to King Henry’s Walk at 8.15pm after the 17-year-old had been stabbed in the hand and leg.
Medics took him to hospital with injuries not said to be life threatening or life changing.
No one has been arrested yet.
Forensic teams were seen combing the area into the early hours of Saturday morning following the attack – which happened just yards from where a man was stabbed the week before.
