Harry Pitman, 16, was fatally hurt at a New Year's Eve fireworks event on Primrose Hill, north London.
A teenager accused of murdering a 16-year-old boy by stabbing him in the neck during a New Year's Eve fireworks night on London’s Primrose Hill has told a court he thought the victim might "stab" him.
He told the Old Bailey he only intended to hit Harry with a sheath that contained a knife, in order to defend himself. "I thought I would show the handle of my knife to the group to get them to go away," he told the court.
