A friend of a teen who was stabbed in the head and back during a wild attack on one of Sydney\u2019s busiest streets has been charged, but the three suspected attackers remain on the run.<\/p>\n

The teenager was brutally stabbed on King St, Newtown shortly after midnight on Saturday.<\/p>\n

A friend of the boy, who removed his own shirt to apply a tourniquet, has been charged with affray.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old was released on bail to face court in August.<\/p>\n

A police spokesperson confirmed on Sunday morning that three people believed to be behind the attack had not yet been arrested or charged.<\/p>\n

The stabbing on a busy street in Sydney\u2019s inner west was caught on CCTV. <\/p>\n

The 17-year-old was assaulted, police said, about 12.30am on Saturday on King Street, Newtown, by a group of people who then fled the scene. <\/p>\n

The terrifying ordeal was captured on CCTV and shows the moment the teen was set upon by a group of people.<\/p>\n

In the video, obtained by 7News, the teen is seemingly kicked, punched and stabbed by multiple people as he cowers on the ground trying to protect himself. <\/p>\n

The group then flee the scene, as the injured teen stumbles down the street. <\/p>\n

His friends are then seen in the video rushing to his aid, with one of them using a shirt to try to apply pressure and try to slow the bleeding. <\/p>\n

The 17-year-old was treated by paramedics before he was taken to hospital in a stable condition with multiple stab wounds to his head and back.<\/p>\n

He is set to undergo surgery for ligament and tendon damage.<\/p>\n

A crime scene was established and police have commenced an investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n
