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.
A group of teens slipped away from their homes to watch the assault outside a chippy after the accused stated he 'needed this fight'. Wolverhampton Crown Court heard that the 14-year-old and his victim had 'some problems' in the lead up to the attack, reports Birmingham Live.
After the group of teens arrived outside King Cod Chippy, the accused spotted the defendant before walking towards him with his arms stretched and throwing the first punch. The victim managed to dodge the first attack before the defendant grabbed a knife out of his bag.
