The charges follow an incident over the Moomba long weekend where it is alleged a ride-share driver was stabbed multiple times before his vehicle was stolen by the pair who were his passengers on 12 April about 3.40am.
The victim, a 28-year-old Williams Landing man, sought help from a service station on Johnston Street before he was hospitalised with serious injuries.
Both teens were remanded in custody to appear at a childrens’ court at a later date.
