A 16-YEAR-OLD boy is dead after a street fight about 12.30am this morning near a gatecrashed Huntingdale teenage party.
``We believe some people crashed the party and then there was an altercation,'' Major Crime Det-Sgt Kevin Bradshaw said.
The boy was stabbed, it is understood.
He died at RPH after being transported in a critical condition by St John Ambulance.
Paramedics also took a man to Armadale Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The fight broke out on Stevenage St, less than 100m from the Harpenden St party being held for a 17-year-old.
There were about 20 party-goers, Det-Sgt Bradshaw said.
News of the boy's death brought many of the teenagers to the scene, sobbing uncontrollably.

Several parents arrived throughout the night to console their grieving children and their friends.
About 2am another group of about 12 youths were being interviewed by police at the Warton Rd BP service station, 400m from the fight.
Most were understood to be witnesses to the fight, and two were assisting police with their inquiries early yesterday.
The fight was not linked to an attempted carjacking at the service station onThursday, police said.
Party-goers and their family members were also interviewed by police who established a large crime scene near the streets' intersection.
Forensic officers examined the area before a truck-carried mobile police facility was used as a command centre at dawn.
Party-goers were supplied with blankets to combat the morning chill.
