The incident was reported around 6.30 p.m. Saturday from Fatehpur Beri in south Delhi.
Akshay, who was pursuing stenography course from a private institute, was attacked with a sharp edged weapon by his neighbour Suraj, 21, and sustained wounds in his chest.
Police said Suraj had consumed alcohol at the time of the incident. He was arrested a few hours after the incident, said a police official.
