Gangster-themed 16th birthday party’s bloody end: Boy, 15, ‘stabbed two men, 22, with a machete’

A 15-year-old gatecrasher has been denied bail after allegedly hacking two men with a machete when they refused to let him into a ‘gangster-themed’ birthday party.

Liam Hamilton was celebrating his 16th birthday with a group of friends and family at his home in Quakers Hill, in Sydney’s west, on Saturday night.

The party was reportedly coming to a close at 10.30pm when his brother Corey and friend David Davis, both 22, tried to move on a group of gatecrashers who arrived.

Both Corey and David were allegedly stabbed with a 50cm machete by the boy, 15, and then set upon by a large group of gatecrashers – sparking an all-in brawl.

Corey suffered deep wounds to his arm and David remained in Westmead Hospital on Sunday night with a punctured lung after being stabbed in the back.

‘Our boys out the front said sorry guys the party is over,’ Liam’s mother told The Daily Telegraph.

‘They tried to move them on and the boys just jumped on David, the one that’s still in hospital, because they told them to go,’ she said.

Five men, aged between 18 and 20, and six teenage boys, aged between 15 and 17, were arrested at the scene and taken to Riverstone Police Station.  

Police waited for those arrested to sober up overnight before they began to interview them on Sunday morning.

They were all released apart from the charged 15-year-old.
