Shouldn't have thought so, the police will find him, arrest him, put him before the youth court and he will receive a youth reprimand for common assault. No way, not when using a knife, and more than one injury, with significant medical intervention? Unlawful wounding all day long. And depends on age - quotes as '14-17', big difference if they are 16-17 (when they are basically treated as an adult when it comes to knife crime). There's been changes in this area over the last couple of years. I was being facetious but not sure they are treated like adults just because it's related to knife crime, under 18 they will be dealt with as a youth. Happy to be corrected. Plus his solicitor will come up with something to excuse his 'clients' behaviour Just hope the victim has fully recrovered, could've been absolutely tragic.

In exceptional circumstances, most notably murder, children can be tried as an adult in adult courts. From the age of 18 onwards you are considered an adult in the eyes of the law.
