1. The razor boys of Civic (interesting no-one’s told the police the Gubbmint would like us to call it “Canberra Central” or whatever it is):
- ACT Policing has charged a 17-year-old male youth from Dunlop with intentional wounding following an incident in Garema Place yesterday (December 15).
Around 5.30pm the male youth was in Garema Place, Civic, sitting on a bench with a friend when he was approached by two other males. An argument broke out which escalated and became physical. It is alleged the male youth then produced a razor blade and slashed out at the victim. The victim was cut a number of times on the left side of his face and on his arm. He was conveyed to The Canberra Hospital for treatment.
The male youth allegedly decamped from the scene and caught a bus. He went to a friend’s house in Belconnen from where he telephoned police to inform them of his location.
AFP Forensic Services attended the scene at Garema Place.
The alleged male offender was charged with intentional wounding and will appear before the ACT Children’s Court this morning (December 16).
