A 16-year-old boy has denied charges of attempted murder and affray at a hearing at Bristol Crown Court on Wednesday, June 25.
The teenager is charged in connection with an attack on a boy aged 15 at Cribbs Causeway on Monday, May 26. He was remanded in youth detention pending trial on November 24, 2025. A second boy, also 16, has denied charges of affray and assault causing actual bodily harm and remains on conditional court bail pending a trial at Bristol Magistrates’ Court which is listed for October 1, 2025. A third 16-year-old boy, who admitted possessing an offensive weapon (a knuckleduster) and affray, was handed a 12-month youth referral order by Bristol Magistrates on June 25. Another six teenagers have been arrested and remain on police bail as the police investigation into the incident continues. Thankfully, the injured child continues to make good progress with his recovery. None of the children involved can be named for legal reasons, and while proceedings are live police have urged people to refrain from speculating or sharing videos of anything that might be relevant to the trial.
