An autistic teen who stayed inside his home for over 2 years due to social anxiety was brutally stabbed while venturing out for just the second time.
Billy Baxter, 16, from Blackburn, was knifed in the heart and lungs on the evening of September 17 last year while walking near his home in what is believed to be a row over a girl.
He had to undergo life-saving surgery after the attack and has since been left with a 12-inch scar running down the length of his chest.
