No arrests have been made and a police spokesman today confirmed the boy's age.
Neighbours said the brawl involving two boys was so ferocious that a pizza delivery driver locked himself in his van for safety.
One said a male paramedic cried after his team battled to save the youth's life for more than an hour.
Another local, who wished not to be named, said a pizza delivery driver had locked himself in his van as the boys fought in the street.
The mum of three said: "He was so scared he got back in his vehicle and locked the door.
"There is a lot of drug dealing here but I don't think this was about that. It tends to be men in their twenties and thirties dealing."
