A 13-year-old boy who allegedly stabbed two boys in the neck and squirted another with insect spray in a school attack faces an Old Bailey trial in the autumn. The child, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, bit his nails and spoke only to confirm his name during his first Crown Court hearing on Friday before Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb.
“Child C opened the classroom door and the defendant sprayed him directly in the face and once inside the classroom he stabbed in the neck child A. Both those incidents happened in the presence of a teacher and numerous other children.
“The defendant then left the classroom and moments later attacked child B in the playground in the presence of others, stabbing him in the neck.”
The prosecutor said the defendant then ran away and was undetected for about three hours before being apprehended by police.

He was charged with two counts of attempted murder and unlawfully and maliciously administering a noxious thing to a third child.
He has also been charged with possession of a knife on school premises without good reason or lawful authority.
During the hearing Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb set a timetable for the case and confirmed it would be heard by a High Court judge at the Old Bailey.
