A 16-year-old boy admitted to stabbing another teenager multiple times while they were standing outside the Mall at Marathon earlier this month.
Magistrate Algernon Allen, Jr, charged the 16-year-old, whose name is being withheld because he is a minor, with causing harm and assault with a dangerous instrument.
The accused reportedly got into an argument with another 16-year-old boy on Marathon Road around 4pm on December 1. After the argument escalated, the accused stabbed the victim multiple times with a knife. The victim was treated for his injuries and discharged from hospital.
After the juvenile entered a guilty plea in the presence of his guardians, he was granted $3,000 bail and one or two sureties. Under the terms of this bail, he must obey a daily residential curfew of 6pm to 7am.
The defendant must return to court for a probation report on March 12, 2024.
