Boy, 10, who received ASBO tried to become gang leader but was stabbed 27 times

A boy who became "one of the youngest people ever to receive an anti-social behaviour order" at the age of 10 went on to become a teen gang leader until he was stabbed 27 times. Alfie Hodgin was sent back to jail on Wednesday after he was found with more than £2,000 of heroin and crack cocaine while "slumped on the floor covered in blood" following the machete attack.

He was assaulted in 'retribution' after stealing drugs and a graft phone from a county lines ring which he had previously worked on behalf of. According to the Liverpool Echo, the now 18-year-old has led a life of crime from a worryingly young age.

At 10 years old, Hodgin received an ASBO at Wirral Magistrates' Court in December 2014 after "terrorising the community". The two-year civil order banned him from "causing harassment, alarm or distress to members the public" and required him to immediately leave shops and businesses if asked to do so by staff.
