A 14-year-old is the last youth to be sentenced over affray in Watford High Street in an incident which left a man with a broken hip.
Four teens have avoided a custodial sentence over affray and grievous bodily harm in Watford that left a man with a broken hip - as the final offender is sentenced.The 14-year-old, from north London, was referred to the Youth Offender Panel for three eight-month periods to run concurrently after he admitted causing affray, but did not pay a victim surcharge or court costs as it was deemed"not appropriate".
He admitted pushing a trolley into the victim, a man in his 50s, causing him to fall and suffer a hip fracture, and paid £250 in compensation. The Watford youth was handed a four-month curfew with an electronic tag as part of a youth rehabilitation requirement and must complete 45 hours of a reparation activity over 15 days, while the 15-year-old was referred to the Youth Offender Panel for eight months. Both pleaded guilty to affray.
Youth Offenders Panels consist of a court representative and two community volunteers who help young people convicted of crimes to make amends to the victim.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
