A teenager accused of attacking a youngster with a knife and bottle appeared in court today.

The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Richmond Magistrates’ Court after a 15-year-old suffered stab wounds in Hospital Bridge Road, Whitton, on June 15.

The teenager, from Shepherds Bush, is accused of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of an offensive weapon.

The case was sent to Kingston Crown Court where the defendant will enter a plea on August 31.
