A 17-year-old Brighton boy has been imprisoned for seven years after pursuing and injuring three people in a Brighton knife incident in January.
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Lewes Crown Court on 6 November and was sentenced to four years imprisonment and three years on licence.
On January 12 at around 11pm, it was reported that a group of three friends were pursued on Gardner Street.
A man and woman, both aged 20, suffered serious knife injuries and an 18-year-old woman was physically assaulted.
Two 17-year-old boys were arrested an hour after the incident and they were bailed with strict conditions pending further enquiries.
There was no further action taken against one of the boys.
A 17-year-old boy from Brighton was charged on 5 June with two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm, possessing an offensive weapon in a public place and for assaulting a police officer and he has now been sentenced.
DC James Botting said:
“He was pursuing them with intent to harm them and cause serious injury in what was an unprovoked and mindless act.”
