A concerned mum called police when her son left the house holding a knife, a court heard. But by the time they caught up with Caisey Perrett, who was in the grip of a mental health crisis, he had stabbed one man in the chest and punched another.
Perrett had accused staff at Yate Kebab and Pizza House of staring at a young girl and called them "paedophiles", Bristol Crown Court heard. Though Perrett left the premises he returned and stabbed a customer in the chest. When a staff member approached him Perrett punched him in the face.
Perrett, who was aged 17 at the time of the offence but has since turned 18, of Abbotswood in Yate, pleaded guilty to wounding, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and possessing an offensive weapon. The recorder Mr David Chidgey imposed an 18-month community order, with rehabilitation, a mental health treatment requirement and 100 hours' unpaid work.
