It is thought the youngster, from Collier Row, Romford, was stabbed because he hadn’t returned a tracksuit to one of his attackers from a rival gang. One neighbour who lived near the playing field said: ‘I heard yelling in the field at around 9.45pm, then saw some teenagers run off, then the police came.
‘It’s very worrying that this has happened, this is a quite area and nothing like this happens here.
‘A confrontation began outside the club between four male youths and the victim, who was alone.
One of the males then stabbed the victim before all four made off on foot towards Chigwell Road.
Other people at the party came to help the victim before police and paramedics arrived.
