Injured in the attack were the two boys and a 24-year-old man. The two-year-old who suffered severe abdominal injuries was still in critical condition last night.
His distraught mother was seen weeping while waiting at the local children's hospital.
The 12-year-old boy was stabbed in the back, while the fourth victim received injuries to his chest and waist.
