A teenage transgender girl was rushed to hospital after being stabbed 14 times, a court has heard.

The victim, 18, was attending a roller-skating party with friends when she was allegedly attacked by a group and subjected to slurs, it is said.

Summer Betts-Ramsey, 19, appeared in the dock at Willesden magistrates court on Tuesday, accused of being involved in the stabbing.

She has been charged with attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon in public.

Prosecutor Bunsri Bhuwa confirmed to the court that the victim is a transgender female.

The stabbing happened in Masons Avenue in Wealdstone, northwest London at roughly 7pm on Saturday.
The court heard the victim had arranged to attend a rollerskating party with friends at Harrow Leisure Centre that day.

It is said she sustained 14 stab wounds in the alleged attack and was rushed to hospital for treatment.

Betts-Ramsey wept in the dock as she confirmed her name, date of birth, and her address in Cricklewood, northwest London.

She did not formally enter any pleas after the charges were read out to her.

Wearing prison-issue grey clothes and with her hair tied up into a ponytail, the teenager was flanked by two guards during the 30-minute hearing.

She was remanded into custody until a plea hearing at the Old Bailey on March 12.

After being told she faces the next month in custody, Betts-Ramsey tearfully asked to speak to her mother through the glass front of the dock. Afterwards, she called out I love you when she was led away to the cells.
The court was told Betts-Ramsey denies being involved in the stabbing.

The Metropolitan Police has said the victim of the alleged attack has now been discharged from hospital and is being supported by her family.

Detective Inspector Nicola Hannant, who is leading the investigation, appealed for witnesses to the attack.

Sad news - thank goodness she survived the attack.

Disgusting.

I hope she makes a full recovery.

Hope she recovers and also hope the one who stabbed her gets life in prison.

There's no rehabilitating someone like that, keep them away from society.

Not likely. The perp is female. Women always get light sentences.

Sadly knowing how fucked the UK is this probably won't be charged as a hate crime, and the perpetrator will be given a light slap on the wrist punishment.

pieces of shit.

If the prosecution can prove hate crime, the sentence guidelines start at 20 years.

Anti trans rhetoric contributes to this
