A 17-year-old boy from Brighton has been sentenced to seven years of detention after injuring three people in a knife attack on Gardner Street in January. He appeared before Lewes Crown Court on November 6, where he received a four-year custodial sentence followed by three years on licence. Due to his age, his identity remains protected.
The incident took place on January 12 around 11 pm, when the teenager reportedly pursued a group of three friends. A 20-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman suffered serious knife wounds, and an 18-year-old woman was physically assaulted.
This sentencing marks a significant step in Sussex Police’s ongoing efforts to address knife-related violence and protect public safety in Brighton and surrounding areas.
