The teenager, who cannot be named, will serve an extended period on licence due to his history of carrying knives
A “dangerous” teenager with a history of carrying knives plunged the weapon into a man while he had his back turned during a fight in Newsham Park . The 15-year-old boy, who the ECHO cannot name because of his age, left his victim to stagger away and collapse after he stabbed him twice on August 19 this year . The teenager then tried to lie to the police and claimed he had acted in self defence.
The teenager was initially charged with attempted murder and was remanded in custody three days after the incident. He then entered a guilty plea to alternative charge section 18 wounding and possession of a bladed article in a public place on November 18. In mitigation, Daniel Travers, defending, told the court his client “is devastated and is very sorry for what he did”. He added: “He understands how serious it is and would like to make amends to Harvey Wood.
