Police were initially called to reports of a stabbing in Ashland Street, Pennfields, at around 7pm on Friday, where the 15-year-old had been hurt.
Officers were then directed to nearby Owen Road by paramedics where the younger boy was found with serious injuries.
Another 14-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of affray and is due to be interviewed by police.

"Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting log 2183 of January 26, 2018."
A man who lives in Ashland Street, and did not want to be named, said: "I saw kids were fighting and one got stabbed down by the butchers.
"The another one got stabbed. I saw him on the floor kneeling down.
"It was just kids going round and doing stupid things. I didn't know it was serious."
A woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "I heard somebody got stabbed but there is always stuff going on around here."
