A 17-year-old British boy has had his lower leg amputated after being stabbed by migrant Idris Ahmed, 18, during the bank holiday weekend at Barry Island in Wales.
Ahmed has pleaded not guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent, unlawfully inflicting grievous bodily harm, and possessing a bladed article.
Prosecutors said the stabbing on May 25 caused catastrophic injuries that led to the victim’s leg being amputated below the knee. A previous court hearing described the knife as a “highly dangerous weapon.”
Ahmed has been remanded in custody ahead of a trial scheduled to begin on November 2, which is expected to last 10 days.
