A 15-year-old schoolboy drove a Mercedes into another teenager in Luton who was then stabbed.
He was one of four youths involved in the attack in Farley Meadows on March 10, 2022.
The silver car went straight into the victim, trapping him against a property. He was stabbed twice in the leg with a large Zombie knife and a kitchen knife.
The car was driving off and crashed in Castle Street, Luton Crown Court heard on Monday, March 6, 2023.
Sentencing them, Recorder Howard Cohen said: “The prosecution suggest this was about gang activity following an earlier attack, but I cannot conclude gang rivalry contributed to the wounding.”
The victim, who was taken to hospital with wounds to his leg, did not co-operate with the police investigation.
Mohammed Tahir, 18, now of Solihull Road, Sparkhill, Birmingham pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and having a knife.
He was sentenced to 23 months’ custody suspended for 23 months. He was sentenced to 150 hours’ unpaid work with 40 rehabilitation days.
A 16-year-old who admitted causing wounding with intent and having a knife was sentenced to an 18 month Youth Rehabilitation Order. He had said he carried a knife because he had been stabbed a month previously.
A second 16-year-old who admitted wounding with intent and having a knife was given a 12 month Youth Rehabilition Order.
The fourth youth, who is now 16, admitted wounding with intent. He was told by the judge: “You had an important role you drove into him and could have caused him very serious injuries. You were under age and without insurance.”
He was also given a 12 month Youth Rehabilitation Order. Condition of the Youth Rehabilitation Order include a three month electronically-monitored curfew and a three month ban from entering Farley Meadows.
The judge told the youths: “You are four young men with futures ahead of you.
“I urge you to take the chance you have been given to start afresh.”
