The 'dangerous' schoolboy bragged about the knife attack to friends which fractured his victims eye socket.
A teenager who slashed a 13-year-old boy's face and leaving him permanently blind has been jailed for 40 months. The schoolboy, who cannot be named due to his age, threatened to stab his victim weeks prior in text before carrying out the horror attack in the early hours of the morning outside a chippy.
Prosecutor Caroline Harris says the schoolboy was bragging to his friends after the assault about 'poking' him in the eye. She said: "The young people who witnessed the event were obviously scared by what they saw. After escaping, the badly-injured victim woke up his parents, with footage from their home showing blood 'streaming' down his face. Medics at three different hospitals tended to his 'very nasty injury' but were unable to save his eye.
"I cry at night time. I don't want people to see my eye, it makes me feel like I don't want to go out the house. I have not really been out since it happened.Balbir Singh, defending, said the attacker, knows he should not have been carrying the blade and understands what he did was 'bad'. Mr Singh went on to say the boy 'lashed out' with the knife after his victim 'went for' him first but did not intend to wound him.
